UNITE HERE Local 11 Announces Growing Support of Chateau Marmont Boycott as Stonewall Democratic Club and WeHo Elected Leaders Sign On
March 9, 2021 GMT
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 8, 2021--
The Stonewall Democratic Club has pledged to boycott the Chateau Marmont until it demonstrates a commitment to ensuring that all workers—regardless of their race, sex, or background—feel treated with dignity and respect.
The Chateau Marmont fired virtually its entire workforce in March 2020, leaving workers who had dedicated decades of their lives to the hotel without job security or affordable healthcare during the pandemic. Many of the hotel’s workers have since spoken out about their experiences working at “Hollywood’s Playground,” prompting an outcry of concern from community leaders.
