EDIT: Well, geez, iPhone won’t let me put up caption or tags. So here’s  the story: 21 July, there was a Rally for Justice on behalf of Hyatt  workers across America. I think several cities held their own rallies.  Here in San Antonio we gathered at the Grand Hyatt on Market Street to  protest the abuse and exploitation of our housekeepers. There was a  great turnout and, huge surprise, they took it to the next level by  blocking off traffic on Market Street (rush hour, mind you). They held  hands and sat right in the street for a good 10 minutes before being  arrested. Two of my buddies were sitting there and I couldn’t be more  proud of the stand they took. Hopefully, this will bring awareness to  the plight that many hotel workers, especially housekeepers, are in. Did  I mention it was a good 100 degrees? That asphalt was hot!
