We Are Essential, Not Expendable
Our President Anand Singh send the Hotel Industry a set of proposals that should guide the Hotel’s reopening.
The Union’s proposals are all about bringing workers back to work in a safe environment.
We’re demanding the highest levels of health and safety including:
- Training and staffing
- PPE and cleaning equipment
- Thorough disinfecting prior to reopening for all areas of the hotels
- Social distancing for workers and guests
- Daily room cleaning
- Strong workload protections
- Health benefits
- COVID 19 testing
The industry should understand that we will not endorse a reopening that ignores our demands for job security, health and safety.
