Join Workers’ Dignity TODAY as we release our report “Hotels Shouldn’t Hurt.” Hear directly from former and current housekeepers about our experiences working in Nashville’s hotels.

We’ll share about poverty wages, wage theft, being pressured to work dangerously fast, and having to pay our own medical costs when there are accidents at work.

We’ll also announce the results of our survey of hotel workers across Nashville, showing that these stories are not isolated events but rather business as usual for Nashville’s hotels. And we’ll share about hotels that are receiving millions of dollars in public subsidies from the tax dollars we all pay.

When: Today, Monday May 23, at 5:30pm

Where: Roundabout between the new Westin Hotel and the Music City Center (8th Avenue and Korean Veterans Boulevard)

Our report “Hotels Shouldn’t Hurt” shows that nearly 4 out of 5 housekeepers injured on the job were denied emergency medical care, and over half of housekeepers do not have sick days – paid or unpaid.
