However, this comment "Well, are you pissed about this OTHER outrage" is classic derailing.
No, it is asking if he is being consistent; if he's not upset about the same thing happening elsewhere then there is more to this an the stated objections. If he boycotts the Hyatt but doesn't boycott other companies that have done the same thing then he's being inconsistent. He claims the action is indefensible which says to me that it is similarly indefensible when Dell or Sprint or Comcast does it; since it cannot be defended there, either, the same actions should be taken to counter it.
If, as one poster suggested, this outsourcing results in a higher incident of theft by housekeeping staff, it could be suggested that supporting the former employees, and a union supporting them, supports the safety of Arisia's membership.
If there is a higher incidence of theft at Arisia '10 then I strong agree that the Hyatt should be contacted and, if one desires, one can support the former employees and/or a union. But if there is only the suggestion that it might do so, I can just as easily make the suggestion that it will make the new workers that much more eager to keep their jobs and so will lower theft and so Arisia should support this.

Both are just suggestions, after all.
