Unfortunately, Hyatt doesn't value its room cleaning staff one cent above minimum wage, because what they've done is to outsource all the housekeeping jobs to a minimum wage company that provides no benefits to its workers.

Globe reports:
Mayor Thomas M. Menino today will propose laying off 565 city workers, including public school teachers, police officers, and librarians, cutbacks that Boston officials said are needed to help balance the $2.4 billion city budget.

Aside from the tragic lack of punnage in the Boston Globe front-of-website story, the Globe's lame coverage neglects to dig into the matter with any kind of depth. Amusingly enough, there is a similar but far more detailed story in the business section. Still, plenty missing. For example: Why is the Massachusetts Attorney General "aware of the situation and reviewing it"?
