The campaign started when
HEI was the hotel owner. We need to explain that just because a hotel says
Marriot or Westin outside, they are not necessarily the owners, but licensees.
For the record, HEI bought the hotel from local owners over eight years ago.
The struggle to form a
Union started when HEI was in charge, but recently they have sold out to
Evolution, based in Long Beach.

According to Romero,
Evolution just used E-Verify to try to get rid of problem employees, "we have
talked to the agency housekeepers, and the majority are not documented." This
is the reason that Romero decided to go on this hunger strike.
Moreover, "The movement to
bring in the Union, is what led to people being dismissed. They used E-Verify
to try to stop the movement."
As written yesterday,
according to Lorena Gonzalez of the Central Labor Council, and other leaders,
this is exactly the case.
