We are a broad cross-section of the Silicon Valley community, and we sign this petition in support of the housekeepers at the Hyatt Santa Clara. • Each day, housekeepers at the Hyatt Santa Clara clean 17 rooms, and make up to 33 beds, changing up to 99 sheets and pillowcases. • In a survey of over half the housekeeping department, Hyatt Santa Clara housekeepers reported living and working with pain, as well as waking up in the middle of the night due to physical pain. This is unacceptable in our community. All workers deserve humane working conditions, and all of Hyatt Santa Clara’s employees deserve to be treated with respect.

I have been reading through your comments and the stories you share about the reality of this work are truly humbling. This movement has grown far beyond what I imagined when I first started this effort. It is your determination that keeps the focus on the people who deserve to be heard.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have taken an interest in the conditions at the Hyatt. This momentum belongs entirely to the community members who decided that these workers deserve better.

Ridiculous workload. How are they supposed to not get hurt doing that much physical labor every single day?

I stay here for work often and it makes me sick knowing what the staff goes through behind the scenes. Fix this now.
