Real Classy, Hyatt

As a commenter on this Boston Globe story says, "Real Classy, Hyatt":

When the housekeepers at the three Hyatt hotels in the Boston area were asked to train some new workers, they said they were told the trainees would be filling in during vacations.

On Aug. 31, staffers learned the full story: None of them would be making the beds and cleaning the showers any longer. All of them were losing their jobs. The trainees, it turns out, were employees of a Georgia company, Hospitality Staffing Solutions, who were replacing them that day.

My colleagues and I have been staying at Sheratons recently and I think it'll be staying that way unless this one has a happy ending. I'll keep you posted...
