HEI Hotels and Resorts, owner of the Sheraton Crystal City, is one of the fastest growing hotel management companies in the US. While itowns a hotel, HEI employs a range of techniques to bring costs down.Employees have experienced reduced hours and layoffs, shortages in cleaning supplies and basic materials, and increased workloads -especially in housekeeping.
Now, HEI workers are fighting back! In February 2009, workers at the Sheraton Crystal City in Northern Virginia joined HEI workers at the Le Meridien in San Francisco and Hilton Long Beach in a national campaign for fairness. Supported by student activists and local community leaders, workers presented their general manager with a demand for a fair and democratic process for deciding whether to form a union, without management interference.
