All summer us OBB'ers and Staff of Unite Here San Antonio, have been looking forward to launching a boycott on the two major Hyatt Hotels here, and the week of actions that that would entail. We have also been pushing for the local City Council to support legislation called the Tip Integrity Act (TIA).  The hotel charges a 22% service charge for dinners at events, but Hyatt doesn t tell customers or workers where that tip money goes. In preparation for the national week of actions, we created a banner that looked like an award honoring the Hyatt for being the greediest hotel in San Antonio. We dropped the banner on the Riverwalk, right in front of the Hyatt Regency. Tourists immediately started taking pictures and asking us what was going on. On Thursday we had our first picket line in front of the Grand Hyatt we had 80+ people chanting and leafleting the people walking by. One of my fellow OBB'ers Brenda lead her Son Jarocho band in a performance to move the crowd over to our rallying point, where community leaders spoke out in support of the TIA and the Hyatt Workers. Hyatt Workers themselves also spoke out against the atrocities they face on a daily basis in the work place. vacation packages to cabo san lucas After the speeches some Summer Volunteers did a theatric performance, which I wrote, vacation packages to cabo san lucas dramatizing what happens to workers who don't have laws like the TIA to protect them from greedy corporations like Hyatt. It felt amazing to hear the crowd cheer on the "Hero" named Super Tia, and boo our Hyatt Head Manager.
