A report by nonprofit group Puget Sound Sage says that hotel workers in Seattle are suffering from low wages and inadequate health care benefits. Marlene Colucci, AH&LA's executive vice president for public policy, responded to the report's findings by pointing out that the union Unite Here contributed to the study and that makes the report's critique of hotels "nothing more than propaganda." When unions try to organize workers in new cities, reports like this tend to surface, Colucci says.
