Westmont Hospitality Group: Bring your Terminated Workers Back to their Jobs!
Majid Mangalji, President of Westmont Hospitality
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Westmont Hospitality Group terminated nearly 100 workers at Pan Pacific Vancouver. They also terminated workers at the Fairmont Waterfront and JW Marriott in downtown Vancouver. They did all this while taking up to $48 million in public Covid relief across North America.
Of the total women fired at Pan Pacific since June 2020, 94% are women of colour. Fired housekeepers at Pan filed a human rights complaint this fall, on the grounds of race and sex discrimination by the hotel. Workers also filed two class action lawsuits against the hotel over wrongful terminations and breach of contract this year. Recently, a BC Supreme Court judge ruled in favour of workers and gave the green light for the class action lawsuit over wrongful terminations to proceed. Pan Pacific workers are building power!
Take action and help us keep up the momentum!

We urge you to bring all your terminated workers at Pan Pacific, Fairmont Waterfront, and JW Mariott back to their jobs once business recovers, especially the women who have built the hotels on their backs for decades. No one deserves to lose their job just because of the pandemic.
