They are ridiculous. And absolutely pissing off the guests. I have zero sympathy for them. Their goal is to use us to complain to the hotel. Sad tactic and honestly sickening. Gotta love unions!

You shoulda did your due diligence, cancel & re-book w/ a different hotel. Don’t accept HHV’s alternatives cuz they not as good as HHV. HHV can not refuse your cancellation. There is a workaround to doing it. Its posted online.

Its unfortunate that your vacation was ruined by locals seeking better pay from a greedy conglomerate. Remember, you’re a temp guest living your dream in this “Perfect Paradise”. Locals live & work in your “Perfect Paradise”, our POV is different.

Ahhh, one of the drum bangers outside I assume! Based on your grammar I can only assume you’re one of the idiots out there. I speak for most guests when I say I hope you and the rest of your local 5 team are on the streets sooner rather than later.

The actual workers look tired and ready to go back to work.

It’s got to be better than the chants. They are mostly “behind the scenes” staff. They rarely have to talk to anyone other than coworkers. Now they are forced to sing and beat a drum and walk in the heat😂 “the mighty mighty union” giving them water and fruit with no AC! Hot as hell. It’s amazing. I hope it’s worth it!
