Hyatt suddenly lays off housekeepers

[ron_newman]

Some of the staff we all love at the Hyatt were suddenly laid off last month -- after being asked to train their replacements:

Housekeepers lose Hyatt jobs to outsourcing

When the housekeepers at the three Hyatt hotels in the Boston area were asked to train some new workers, they said they were told the trainees would be filling in during vacations.

On Aug. 31, staffers learned the full story: None of them would be making the beds and cleaning the showers any longer. All of them were losing their jobs. The trainees, it turns out, were employees of a Georgia company, Hospitality Staffing Solutions, who were replacing them that day.

FROM NEFANX '09

The Volunteer details and sign-up page is now open at the New England Fan
Experience website [www.nefanx.com]. If you'd like to work for the convention,
and potentially earn your 2010 membership, then take a look at all the
interesting jobs that we need to have filled.

You do have to pay for your membership this year [$45], but if you work only 12
hours at the convention you have paid-it-forward and get a really nice
Volunteers ONLY T-shirt to commemorate your experience and you earn a free 2010
convention membership.

Thank you all for your continued support of NEFanX.
See you in November,
- Mary Dumas
Chairman 2009
