SAW helps 15 3rd shift housekeepers from Zone 215 file a group grievance against their zone manager and crew leader for abusive language and harassment – November 2012

After being denied our request to Human Resources for date stamped copies of each of the 15 grievances that we delivered (a very routine request), we were able to convince HR to give us this receipt proving the date that they were turned in.

Zone 215 celebrates after learning that their zone manager was terminated and their crew leader was moved to a different zone.
