July 10, 2011 - Today at 5:00 PM, activists hit the Cambridge Hyatt with a flash mob protest to draw attention to the unfair labor practices of the hotel chain. Led by Boston Sass Attack, Boston's radical cheerleading squad, protesters performed a song and dance routine titled "Boycott Hyatt" to the tune of Beyonce's Single Ladies. |

The Boston Hyatt is infamous for firing all their housekeepers in September 2009 and replacing them with lower paid workers sourced from an out-of-state agency. Protesters also released a banner reading "Boycott Hyatt" attached to helium balloons into the hotel atrium. |
