Dear John,

Guests are finally back at the hotel where I work in Hawaii – but I still haven’t been called back to my job as a housekeeper. NBC News came all the way to Honolulu to ask me why.

The reason? Hilton, Marriott, and other hotel companies are trying to eliminate daily housekeeping, which means massive job cuts for housekeepers like me. I told NBC that I want to get back to work because without my job, I have to go to a food bank to feed my kids. Click here to watch the video.

NBC also interviewed guests on the beach, and I was so sad to hear what they said: “I think we’re paying more and getting less services.”

These changes are bad for workers and guests – and they’re not inevitable. Housekeepers in my union UNITE HERE are fighting back, and together we can restore the cleaning that guests want and the jobs that our families need.

Sincerely,

Mary Taboniar, Hilton housekeeper
