Protest and rally to support workers at the Le Meridien Hotel in Cambridge

The Le Meridien Cambridge is trying to decrease hotel standards for workers. Starwood owns the Le Meridien brand, but the hotel is owned and operated by an hotel equity company called HEI Hospitality.

Over 70% of workers at the Le Meridien in Cambridge have asked for a fair process to decide whether to have a union on the job. HEI has refused. HEI workers have low wages, rising health care contributions, and work overloads. HEI hotel workers are part of a growing effort to stand up for basic working standards. On October 11th, hotel workers across the country are launching a national boycott of HEI Hotels.

This summer Harvard, Yale, and Brown decided not to invest any new funds into HEI.

All workers deserve respect, dignity and a voice on the job. Show Le Meridien workers your support by joining us at a rally and march on Thursday, October 11 at 4 pm. We will meet in front of the Le Meridien Hotel at 20 Sidney Street in Cambridge (Central Square Red Line stop). Download the flyer here and download the directions here.
