Have you noticed that the cost of hotel rooms has increased significantly lately?
Unfortunately, the InnVest Hotels group chooses not to give its workers corresponding increases to their wages. Please send a letter in support of workers at the Comfort Inn in Baie-Comeau, Que., who have been on strike since March 22, 2024, as they fight for decent wages.
Most of these workers are women, some of whom have worked at the hotel for over 20 years. Yet they are paid only $16.22 an hour, well below a decent, living wage, especially in Baie-Comeau where the cost of living is higher than in much of Quebec.
These workers are primarily responsible for the success of this hotel, which is doing very well, as you can imagine in light of recent increases in room rates. Yet the InnVest Hotels group has refused to negotiate for months, callously leaving its employees to face the possibility of permanently losing their jobs.
InnVest must return to the negotiating table and treat its workers better. Thank you in advance for your support!
