Today, in 2006, a dozen local hotel service employees gathered at the home of Ana Mendez on Thursday, Feb. 16 to share their plight with actor and activist Danny Glover. After walking through the Lennox neighborhood, Ana graciously welcomed Danny and the throng of hotel workers into her living room to discuss the working conditions, low wages and lack of safety within the hotel industry for its workers who are employed in various service positions from housekeeping to dishwashing.
