Sheraton Princess Kaiulani housekeepingOn August 12, 2014 workers in the housekeeping department at the Princess Kaiulani Hotel said “enough is enough” and delegated their General Manager to demand changes in their department. The two issues discussed were a lack of supplies, especially linen, which is affecting their ability to give the guest what they expect and the continuing abusive behavior of their department manager Alexis. The room was packed and workers spoke from the heart and with passion. The General Manager said he would deal with the supply issues right away and would set up a follow up meeting with the group after deciding what to do with the manager.
