Workers at the Fidelity-owned Seaport Hotel in Boston have called for a boycott.
For over a year, Fidelity has challenged Seaport Hotel banquet workers’
unionization attempts. Here’s a timeline:

 * December 2022, Seaport Hotel cuts a majority of full-time Banquets and
   Convention Services employees from full-time status, making them ineligible
   to receive benefits.
 * July 2023, Seaport Hotel workers filed for a union election. Fidelity filed
   objections which were subsequently overruled by the Labor Board’s Regional
   Director, but resulted in months of delays.
 * January 2024, Seaport Hotel workers win a vote for union representation.
   Fidelity refuses to recognize the results of the election and refuses to
   bargain a contract.
 * February 2024, Seaport Hotel retaliates against unionized workers by
   withholding raises and benefit improvements, and by eliminating already
   planned for banquet event space in a renovated part of the hotel.
 * July 2024, one year after filing for their election, Seaport Hotel workers
   launch boycott of their hotel.

Seaport Hotel workers are asking for customers to not eat, meet, or sleep at the
Seaport Hotel until the Hotel accepts the results of the election and agrees to
a union contract that provides the dignity and respect they deserve.
