from you today. >> supervisor mandelman. >> i want to thank supervisor ronen for calling for this hearing. i am just struck by the disrespect of this major international corporation in not responding, supervisor ronen, to your request to have them come here and a explain to a city that is being impacted every single day by this strike what this position is and why they've been unable to resolve it. i think that the arrogance of that corporation shows through in the letter that they've given to us. they are, as you said, a $49 billion corporation. maybe they feel they are almost as big as san francisco city government and maybe they don't feel the need to communicate with san francisco city

government. i was troubled and i think it is ominous in an era of business consolidations and hotel consolidation this business apparently feels that it does not need to come here and talk to us. i want to express my respect for these workers. i cannot imagine what you all are going through. we are so grateful because it's not just about you, it's about the place of work in this city and the place of workers in this country and world and so i have ever confidence that you will win and your city is behind you. i do want to call my colleagues' attention to the other folks who are impacted by this including non profits who have had move their events away from these hotels and have lost out for that and good for them for doing it. the impact of this strike are being felt not but just the

workers but the city. we are very proud of you. we will be with you. thank you. [applause] supervisor safai. >> thank you, chair yee and so supervisor ronen for calling this meeting. i want to thank the workers for standing up for dignity, for standing up for respect and for not only standing up for their industry but the entire workforce industry in san francisco. because it's extremely important to understand that the struggle that you make, the solidarity that you show, has impacted across all sectors in san francisco. so when you stand strong, all other sectors in san francisco stand strong. and i want to thank you for the time that i served as working with the janitors union, i was on the pickett line with you. i was in your membership meetings and i learned a tremendous a lot from you and

the leadership of your union. so thank you for standing in solidarity today. thank you for standing up for dignity and respect and thank you for showing san francisco why and how its history is important for the city and the united states of america. thank you. >> supervisor brown. >> thank you. thank you supervisor ronen for calling this special board meeting so we can have people come in and tell their stories. i think that's what is really important. i'm hopeful and i'm encouraged that there will be some agreement on november 12th. on the local and national level. we all need to feel safe at work. we need to feel, as women we need to feel safe at work. and we all need to be paid fair and equitable. we all need to be secure in our

jobs. when i heard him talk about how much you make a year, $42,000, around there, i think about everyday that me and my colleagues are going out to fight for affordable housing in this city, because we know it's so expensive, for people like you and others to live here. not only -- you don't even make enough money to qualify for the lowest affordable housing. you have to, a family of three, needs to make $58,000 a year to qualify for affordable housing. a family of four needs to make $65,000 a year to qualify for housing in our city. it's crazy you don't even make enough to be able to qualify for affordable housing in our city when we're out there fighting for it everyday to have one more unit, one more unit because we need people to be able to live and work in this city. you need to be able to live in

the city to be able to get across town to get your children on time. you need to be able to live in this city so environmentally it's better when you are not driving or trying to get to the city on buses that you could actually just get across town on a bus to your job. i'm a little stunned. i'm stunned. and i'm ashamed. ashamed that a corporation like the marriott would do this. we're working very hard to have housing and fair housing in this city and we can't even get you housing. you don't qualify. that is ridiculous. i just really, really thank you today for coming out and spending time with us to tell your stories to us. thank you. >> thank you. any other supervisor who would like to make a comment? seeing none. right now, what i'd like to do

is open up to public comments. i want to let the public know that we do have translation services available for spanish and chinese speakers during this public comment period. so, i'd like to open up public comment. are there any of the members who would like to address the board on a marriott hotel workers strike during the committee of the whole? what i'd like you to do is go ahead and lineup to your right over here. we'll take you first come first serve. anybody here would like to speak? each speaker will be allowed two minutes to speak.

>> i realize there are speaker cards that i have. i'll call you up according to the order that i have received them. the first speaker will be casillo garcia. is that person here? come on up. next speaker will be ivanda mayors and following her will be hija wong nicole. after her alfredo carterown and

after that will be laura -- i can't read handwriting but laura carumba and after that will be julian penrose. i'll continue to call up the card names as soon as i get a couple of these speakers to speak. go ahead. >> good afternoon. my name is consillia. i work at the marriott for 29 years. i work as a attendant. i am on strike because i believe that one job should be enough to have a dignified life to pay our rent and our bills and to be

able to help out family. we live in this city with the cost of living is very, very expensive. what many ask is not enough to cover our needs. many of us have to work two or three jobs just to survive. we leave our homes very early and we come back very late. we don't have time for our families or for ourselves. our children and grandchildren are growing and we don't have time for them. sometimes i feel so bad when i see my co-workers.

they live far, far away and they need to two hours to come to the city to make his day. marriott is one of the richest corporations in the world. we know they can make us just one job to be. it's time for marriott to take responsibility and sign our contract. thank you. >> one job should be enough. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is myers. i work at the marriott marques hotel for four years. i am a san francisco resident.

i've been struggling with homelessness. being from the city, i understand the struggle of being a resident here. i'm a single parent of three kids. i went to school and i worked and tried very hard for my children. when i started working at the marriott, i felt like i finally made it. i have a bmr. we talked about the affordable housing i was blessed to get. it's very -- the battle is it never ends. so you get employment and then you have to worry about the stress of losing your job for the job security or not having benefits or to pay more out of pocket when it's almost impossible to live in this city as it is with other bills as far as childcare, transportation,

you know, after school programs, food. it's very challenging. i believe one job should be enough. especially with all these big buildings that make all this money. i feel like they should share. there's no reason for us workers to work hard three or four jobs and not be able to get the money that we deserve. i don't think that we're asking for too much. we're just asking for what we deserve and what we know that they can give us. i appreciate you guys for taking the time out to listen to me and the workers. i really hope that we can come to speedy resolution to this. it's very hard for me and my workers to not only not make enough to live in the city but to be on strike. that's even more of a struggle. >> thank you.

>> next speaker. >> hello, everyone. my name is hiwa. i'm the housekeeper in marriott

hotel. i'm here to represent my colleagues, especially i want to say something about the clean program. >> this grown program is effecting our income because we are low income people and this is very hard for us to get enough working hours to work in marriott hotel.

>> the hotel always asks us to stay home and we do not have a job to do. >> it makes us not guaranteed for our living. we did not have the very stable income because of this. to substance our cost of living. >> i'm a mother of two children and my children really notice how hard i am to making education for my children.

my kids always are support us when we are on strike. i'm hoping the agreement can be to some degree so we can come to a normal life. >> thank you for support. following alfred owe and laura. would be julian pemrose. following her would be mimmim

lou. >> good afternoon board of supervisors san francisco. i work for two hotels marriott and palace hotel for 29 years. i have to work double jobs to live in san francisco. the rent is very expensive. marriott doesn't want to pay our benefits, pension and healthcare and everything. we need to support to tell the marriott to help us to sign a contract because we are sacrificing our levels, days and we are outside for this fight. thank you, very much for your support. >> thank you. >> hi. my name is laura. i work in marriott marque for six and a half years. i joined the strike with the

union because i'm a single mom of three kids. i think we deserve a fair wages and healthcare for me and my kids. i cannot afford to live in the city with my wages. after working in marriott, i need to pick up my kids and go to another job and i don't have time for them. i am the only one they have. and i cannot afford to be sick. if i get sick and i cannot pay my health benefits. what would happen to my kids? i was in an apartment because i cannot pay the rent and i'm living with my sister. it's so hard to occupy one room with my three of my kids but i'm still fighting for this because i want my kids to know the value

of respect and dignity. marriott is the biggest company. they raise the wages, the salary of the c.e.o. of the company. why can't they give us a little dollar for us to eastern a decent living here in the city. sorry. >> it's ok. thank you. julian. >> i was very moved by the last speaker. i would first like to thank the board of supervisors for their time and for their willingness to hear from the working people that make up our community. my name is julian penrose, i live here in san francisco. i've worked at the w hotel for the past eight years as a bellman. during that time, i've had to work two jobs in order to make ends meet. i've also worked tongues of overtime. just because i needed the money

in order to survive in the city. at times i worked multiple times 24 hours straight. i've even worked 32 hours straight shift. even with all this, i don't feel like my wife and i can afford to have children in this city and raise them. which is pretty grim. marriott is the largest and richest hotel company the world has ever known. they made billions in profits last year on the backs of their workers. and they give their c.e.o. millions in compensation and a golden parachute, even when he is done, he will be fine for the rest of his life. i'm here to today to say that one job should be enough. one job should be enough to make ends meet. one job should be enough to have a family, provide for your family. one job should be enough to cover healthcare and medical benefits. one job should be enough to

retire in dignity. working people shouldn't have to chose between these things. they shouldn't have to say like, oh, well, i just will take the pension but i'll lose and marriott has the ability to change this. they have the planes, the power the money, the financials that they can make a change for the better and show respect to their workers. thank you all for your time and your support. [applause] >> nicolas. >> good afternoon, everyone. i work as a attendant at the palace hotel. i am on strike. for working as a decade as a room attendant at the palace hotel, i have the worries, the stress of what will be my future

and my family as well. because of the high cost of living, the small amount of money me and my husband are receiving every pay day, it is not enough to cover us or pay our rent or our apartment rent and the bills and most importantly our healthcare. at present, he can say that we cannot afford to pay more for the healthcare, especially my husband. right now he is sick and having dialysis. i have to look for one or more jobs. aside from that, we have no time to spend with my family.

the gap in my workplace because of more work loads and lastly, despite the fact that the that i work for more in the palace. i have the fear, the fear of losing my job. this will lead to a very serious stress, which most likely leads to sickness, alcoholism, or even death. we are all here, our union, of course our respected supervisors, we are here to voice our demands and our

support for one another. >> your time is up. >> to support one another and to fight for the benefits. what they deserve. >> next speaker. >> hi. my name is nicole. good afternoon to all of you. i'm sorry, i'm so nervous. i'm the housekeeper currently with saint francis. i am here because i have two kids. i am the main income for my family. it's not hurting me it's hurting my family. i always work hard. i ask for marriott to give us a good medi-cal.

to ensure myself and my family's health. also good retirement. i'm sorry. >> take a deep breath. >> i can enjoy seeing my kids growing up. i want to have energy. he made a choice that we can have more hours. living in san francisco is expensive. our wages it's difficult to pay for the room and food for us. sign a contract now. one job should be enough. thank you. >> next speaker. >> this is not. good afternoon. my name is eva lena cravens i work as a room attendant at the

western saint francisment i want to thank you for having us. this is our village, san francisco supervisors, kudos to you. i am on strike because i have to work two jobs. there's no job security. i have to wait by the phone to see if i work. i've been working at the saint francis for fours years. i'm on strike for my healthcare because i'm on strike because of my healthcare and so many work related injuries due to green choice. i'm going to tell you about green choice. green choice is a program where the guests get so many points and we can't clean their room for three days but they can ask us for con daments, towels so we're cleaning their room from the outside. by the time we clean their room 72 hours later, it's a room they wanted clean in 30 minutes but it takes us from an hour to 15 minutes and we have to change everything in the room. green choice is gold to the

marriott and death for us. you have three days that you are out and then you have 14 rooms a day to do and six to nine double and you have guests waiting and special requests. you are rushing, you are injuring yourself that means in a day's work you will make 22 beds, clean 14 bathrooms, vacuum 14 rooms, dust, whatever the room needs all within seven hours. believe me, you are rushing, running very scared you won't finish. you do it because you have the responsibility to your family to pay rent, bills, food, education and healthcare. i have three job related injuries. i have to have surgeon my elbow in the near future. i came with no health problems. i was health ski flying around just doing it and now i have problems with my shoulder, my

left foot. >> thank you, very much. >> thank you. [applause] >> i'd like to invite. i'd like to have gustavo, kirk payalle, candida, frayedo mauriceo and eleusis walter. >> good afternoon, everyone. my name is mini. >> lucy: lu. i work on the hotel. i am on strike.

i have to move a lot of heavy things, such things and deep clean. when the hotel forced to schedule enough people, my co-workers and i have to work extremely fast to get everything done in order to leave on time. that is the too much to leave us to get injured. and unfortunately the marriott doesn't look at our centers. we hadn't hurt our bodies to get it all done. we deserve a better contract. one job should be enough. thank you. >> hello.

>> good afternoon, my name is gustavo. i work for the hotel. i am a janitor. i have to work two jobs. to be able to pay for my bills and my rent. i can't pay for healthcare coverage. my daughter has gone to the university and it is going to be harder for me with just one job. >> kirk. >> i've worked for marriott for

23 years. i was at the stanford court for 18 years, i thought i would retire there. in 2013 i was laid off so i had to look for another marriott job to stay with the company. i knew a manager at another marriott so i went to work for them, luckily. after three months, i lost my healthcare. i started getting letters for cobra, which is not cheap, as you well know. but luckily i did get a job. the marriott, i've worked for marriott for a long time. i know they can afford this. the healthcare is important, especially here in san francisco. with my brothers and sisters this strike has been tough. one job should be enough. thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is candy and i work for

the san francisco for 16 years being a supervisor. i strike marriott because i have to give up my privacy and i had to bring my children, my son, his wife, my grandchildren in order to pay the rent to work and live in this city so i had to give up my privacy. we have to pay the rent and now we pay 2650 so it's kind of crazy. i have to give up my privacy. i strike marriott because i have a demanding job that is very stressful. i have to go to the emergency room three times because -- i have to take maud in order to

make it through the day. i have a job for two people. one job should be enough. to pay the rent, pay the bills, and put food on the table. i ask for your support to marriott sign the contract. it's not fair that we're struggling when we work for the most rich corporation in the world. marriott, sign the contract. thank you for your support. thank you. >> i'm going to call some more cards to come up. after frayedo an frayed.

>> go ahead. >> good afternoon, supervisors. thank you for all of your time and encouraging words of support. i served five years in the marine core and honestly, i have never felt more american than i do at this moment. that's how much i appreciate this opportunity to speak to you right now. i've been a doorman at the five-star saint regis hotel since 2012. opponents of our strike say we're not supposed to make careers out of these particular jobs but i've already been laboring in hotels for 14 years. and for most of that time i truly enjoyed it. i proudly served world famous and infamous celebrities. i'll put smiles on kids' faces and made the stoneyest face dudes chuckle. i can even make willie brown laugh from time to time.

i fell in love with the front desk agent, we've been committed to each other for 10 years and we got married in 2016. together, we traveled and had the privilege of staying in some of the finest hotels on the planet, all thanks to a job that i'm not supposed to make a career out of. plenty of you appreciate the benefits that technology and innovation offer while we pay a stiff price for you to do so. before uber and lyft came along i could spend a total of one to two hours of my shift hailing taxicabs. these days i consider hailing three cabs within the space of 15 minutes to the day's big rush. electronic payment apps mean fewer guests carry cash, guests tell me i'll get you later. and all i can do is nod my head, smile and believe them. i'm forced to relay on an hourly wage, 86 cents above the city minimum. my rent for a two bedroom

apartment is $2700 a month. before the strike i signed up for door cash and amazon to subsidize the 400 weekly picketting stipend. but after walking 30 to 30,000 steps on the picket pick -- thank you, very much. thank you. next speaker, please. >> this marriott hotels has hundreds of thousands of employees and this is a good example on how the price fixing of living in san francisco correlates with the demonstrations. you always say the medium income in san francisco is 55, 60, 80% of the a.p.i. yet when you make these calculations, none of

these people's income is included in the formula. that's why they're out on the border and homeless and working several jobs at one time. it's not fair. you know good and will in order to live in san francisco doing the time of work in their type of capacity and occupation is about $184,000 a year. you got a poop squat detail that is going around san francisco sweeping up feces from humans and service dogs and service dogs that are not attended and you pay the poop squad detail $184,000 a year. which is close to the same type of work that they're doing too. workers are taking care of their patients and giving them baths and des posing their human waste discharge which is exactly the type of clean ups that the damn poop squad is doing in san

francisco. it's another example of price fixing. which is done by this administration. they're never included. never included in your calculations when you make the presentations talking about the medium income that people make is at 70, $50,000 a year. it's $90,000 a year and you claim that you surveyed everybody in the area but you never surveyed them. that's why you price fix and don't include them in the opportunity. and then when they stroke striku wonder why. it's not fair. you need to stop and treat people fairly. pay them a living wage equal to what the pop squad make. $184,000 a year. >> she will make the testimony part in english and part in

chinese. good afternoon, everybody. my maim is may high wong. i work as a housekeeper as marriott union square for 15 years or more. i have a son and he goes to the college. san from is a very expensive city. i need to support my family. i pay the mortgage and i pay the tax. marriott is requests 40 room per day. we are all the jobs where we had. because they remodel the room, our job is for my co-worker if she is hurt always hurt and go home. sleep.

no time for us. marriott is wealthy hotel. a lot of the business we are only asking for the benefits that we deserve and i will not wake up san francisco you need time. can you help me sign the contract, please. [applause] >> do you have announcement? >> mr. chair, before the next speaker speaks, i just wanted to provide some tips to the audience and the public gallery. at the beginning of this hearing, the chair indicated that there are no loud noises, applause or vocal expression of support that includes applause. if you would please hold your applause until the end of the

hearing. that way we can get through each speaker and not have their comments interrupted. much appreciated. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> ok. i'm eye serve are at the western saint francis and i've been there four years. i am on strike because i am living on a razor's edge from one day to the next. i am born and raised here in the bay area. living here in san francisco is a very difficult thing for working people. i'm a third or fourth generation san franciscoan. previous generations were able to boy homes, we're not able to do that anymore. i'm a renter now. i live in a s.r.o. i pay a lot of money for no kitchen, no bathroom, bedbug season, and mice.

things like that. knowing that they're renovating right next to me, building up these nicer buildings and knowing that i can't, it's not even close for me to afford those things. i know, we started at this strike saying i was one rent payment away from the street. that money has come and gone. that payment has gone in. what am i going to do next month? i don't know. and i know that the one thing i do know is that the marriott, like he said, is the richest hotel company in the history of the planet. that is -- just that statement means a lot. those guys could have signed this contract the first day but they chose not to. we're negotiating with them for months but they chose not to. every time that we talked to them, i didn't see arnie sorrien sorenson in that room. we know the marriott can.

we hope that the marriott decide to. we're disappointed they're not here today. so we know that one job should be enough. make that happen. sign that contract now. thank you. >> hi, good afternoon. thank you for taking time to meet with us. my name is diana. i am a san francisco native, born and raised. i invested in a lot of time and effort when i chose the career i did, which is the culinary industry. i worked in a lot of other restaurants before i got into marriott. hoping that it would help me build a better name for myself. as time has gone by, marriott has asked of me to work more than i should. i have just worked over 60 hours

in three days. it's not fair that they don't want to cover our health benefits when the healthcare is the biggest issue for everyone in this room right now, including yourselves. we live in a city where it's in demand to have two jobs. one just to pay rent and one for survival. it should not be that way. we should not be working ourselves to death and have nothing to show for it. we should be able to retire with dignity. we should take care of our kids. have a decent living. marriott's slogan is, employee's first. then do the right thing and take care of your ploy' employees fi. thank you. >> duck kwan win. is that person here? after him would be carlos.

>> good afternoon, board of supervisors. my name is duck win. i have been working at the saint francis for 26 years. i am having a jury at work. a permanent injury but i still love to work because i need the healthcare for my wife and myself. i am asking for your help and tell them to sign the contract as soon as possible because we love to work. we want to come back to work. thank you so much. >> carlos. >> my name is carlos. i work in the banquet at the marriott marque hotel and i'm on

strike. family healthcare is one with the most important things to me in this country. i cover myself, my wife, and our three daughters. with my healthcare at the marriott marques. my oldest daughter has a pacemaker. and we rely on having medical benefits to survive. we cannot afford to pay more family medical benefits. there is a lot of expenses in the cost of living that we cannot control. like gas, for example. like groceries, et cetera. we can control the cost of the healthcare. we know that the marriott can

afford it. so we believe that one job should be enough. thank you for your support. >> jose perez. >> hi, good evening. my name is jose perez. and i work for marriott junior. i've been working for marriott company for almost 12 years. we are here demanding to this company our healthcare, wages, and benefits. and retirement. but it's not only healthcare benefits and better pay and retirement, it's more that we need to and we want to receive more respect from them. because for this company, we are numbers for them. we're not humans. i believe that every single human being they have to be

treated with respect, with dignity to have a better place to live and to work in a happy place as well. but unfortunately, for this company, they see us like a number so we know and it's been so clear since the beginning every single negotiation that they don't make any movements, they don't -- they reject all our proposals and for them the first need they've been saying in healthcare is expensive. we know healthcare and our america is expensive and in california. but at the same time, they have the money. they have been making tons of money from us and we understand healthcare is expensive for all of us but we deserve.

for us and for every single local members or in eye united members we are making the one for them. we are the one we deal with the customers, we are the one giving the good smile to the customers. we are the one -- >> thank you, very much. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, everybody and supervisors. i am rufina. i'm working at the saint regis hotel for about 13 years now. i would like everyone here, i'm just asking for marriott to pay us for a fair share, which is job security, fair rates and

healthcare benefits. thank you. >> next speaker. after that would be nancy lee, looks like brian ho, lydia, kelly lay, and marion lavano. >> good afternoon, everyone. my name is marrily. i work as a health attendant. i'm on strike right now. as a mother of two and a husband that does not have a job due to health issues, i must work overtime. since i do overtime, i rarely have the chance to spend time with my family. working as a housekeeper is not enough to support my family. my hotel job is in jeopardy.

this will eventually take over my occupation and the issue is the healthcare prize increasing. if the cost of healthcare is too high, my family's health will be effected. this healthcare coverage my husband who has health problems and my children who may also have the health problems in the future. my job has a huge workload. i might get injury any time i am at work because of how difficult it is. how many things i carry around to clean the room. as for management, i do not feey have is to pay me less and work more. i don't feel my personal being care while working on the job. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. nancy lee. >> good afternoon.

my name is nancy lee. i am working at the saint francis over 30 years. i am supervisor. everyday after work, instead of enjoying dinner with my family i am worried. i am worried about tomorrow. i am worried about the next week schedule. because i am worried about my job. our union, we need job security. thank you, very much. >> thank you, next speaker. brian. >> good afternoon. my name is brian and i work at the w here in the city specifically to pbx which is a telecommunications department. i understand our strike has drawn attention and support from many other industries, i hope our message is clear to everyone. one job should be enough. to let us sustain ourselves in a city we love and we can tell our loved ones we can support them and have piece of mind with

healthcare. i want everyone regardless of what industry you work into understand when a corporation you work for is a leader in their industry and boasted an increase in revenue, they have a responsibility to provide for their workers a fair wage and affordable healthcare. instead of celebrating a increase in profits and revenue with marriott we are fighting four our jobs. when a corporation is as profitable as they are, their workers should not have to worry about job security. i, like many of my colleagues, in many fear of losing my job and what i fear most is not for myself but the moral compass of marriott, in industry and job security of the generations after me. [ please stand by ]

hotel to sign the contract today so we get a job. the hotel is my second home. we wish they could give us the health care, wages, pension, job security. thank you. bye-bye. >> supervisor yee: thank you. mirian -- it is mirian here? okay. next speaker that's in line. >> good afternoon. my name is steve creswell, and a bartender at the marriott square. i live in the most expensive city in america. i've lived in san francisco for 26 years, and 22 years of those 26 years, i've had roommates to

help with the expense, even when i was married. yes, san francisco is that expensive today. we are here because we are asking marriott to pay their workers a fair living wage. we are asking marriott to pay into our pensions so we can retire with dignity in the community where we've lived and where we have worked, where we have spent our lives. we are asking all of this at a time when marriott is making record profits, a company valued at $49 billion, a company that just benefited from a generous government corporate tax windfall. they are a company that can clearly afford to sign this contract. so i ask this: if a rising tide lifts all boats, then why is the marriott not willing to raise the boats of their workers, the

same workers who have helped create these record profits, so same on the marriott for driving these same workers into the street. shame on you, marriott. sign the contract, and thank you, board of supervisors, for your continued support. >> supervisor yee: thank you. next speaker -- i'm going to call a bunch of speakers and finish up these cards. lee huang, susana hernandez, gloria nicolai, yee tan, and rebecca. lee, are you here? if not, just come on up. >> good afternoon, everybody. my name is susana hernandez. i work in the dining room for the marriott, and i am on a strike.

i was part of the group of the people that had to work to pay my rent and expenses and bills. i have to sacrifice time for my family but even had to put my own health in second place until unfortunately was diagnosed with breast cancer. in the middle of these terrible moment, i felt blessed to have medical insurance to help cover all my expenses. if i didn't have medical insurance, i wouldn't be able to pay for the chemotherapy, radiations, medicine, and the surgeries to remove areas affected by the cancer. the treatment continued even after the chemotherapy to now three years later. i am still taking medication due

to all the side effects that the cancer caused. now i wouldn't be able to work two jobs because physically, my body had suffered in the negative side effects of the treatment, but i feel the stress, thinking what will happen if marriott doesn't sign the contract? how will i be able to pay my medical expenses, my rent, bills, and food? this is why i'm asking marriott please think of all the people that depends on our medical insurance. i have worked for 20 years at the marriott hotel, and i'm just asking please sign our contract. thank you. >> supervisor yee: thank you. next speaker. just come on up. next speaker. >> good afternoon,
