The American Hotel & Lodging Association and UNITE HERE, the largest hospitality workers union in North America, recently joined forces to call on Congress to pass the Save Hotel Jobs Act.
The bill, according to AHLA, provides the assistance hotel workers need to survive until travel returns to pre-pandemic levels.
Key provisions of the Save Hotel Jobs Act include:
Supporting Hotel Workers: Direct payroll grants will be utilized for payroll and benefits expenses for workers. The legislation would also require grantees to give laid-off workers recall rights to ensure those who lost their hotel jobs due to the pandemic are able to get back to work.
