Workers at the Hyatt Regency Buffalo have announced a union drive amidst ongoing grievances including poor treatment, long hours, low pay, and racial abuse. A housekeeper shared her struggles with management's discriminatory attitudes, emphasizing the need for workers to be respected and valued. The union drive symbolizes a push against the backdrop of Buffalo's evolving labor landscape, where low-wage hospitality jobs contrast sharply with the city's identity as a stronghold of unionization. Workers hope the union will give them a voice and improve their working conditions.
"They're mistreating the workers, especially the immigrants. They should respect the workers that are making the hotel look clean."
"All that I'm looking for is for the union to support us, so us working at the hotel will be respected, and they can look at us like humans."
