Hyatt Regency Waikiki workers fight to bring back more F&B workers

Hyatt Regency Waikiki reopened without opening the poolside bar, keeping many of our members at home while tourists come back by the thousands. Our organizing committee got a majority of the F&B department to sign a petition and delivered it to HR. Because of this, the hotel brought back three cocktail servers to service the pool and added an additional steward. But the fight isn’t over, we won’t stop until the poolside bar Swim is reopened!
