Hyatt Regency Waikiki workers ask guests to request daily room cleaning
Hazelson Dy and Patrick Dy are brothers and housekeepers at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. They passed out leaflets and talked to guests about requesting daily room cleaning. Guests deserve a clean hotel room. Daily room cleaning is required by our collective bargaining agreement, and would help housekeepers like them get back to work so they can pay rent and put food on the table for Hazel’s 4 kids and Patrick’s 1 kid. #UnionAdvantage
