The X Files Hall of Shame
Oct. 8th, 2020 03:25 pmI've always had a hankering to stay at one of the Library Collection of hotels. Like the Library Hotel in New York City. Or the Hotel X in Toronto. Now, though? I could not in all good conscience stay there after learning how this luxury hotel is treating its workers - or in some cases former workers:

Hotel X recently changed its subcontracting arrangement, leaving 200 employees out of work and out of pocket for the hours they have already worked and severance pay to which they are entitled. In Ontario - unlike Quebec, for example - the new subcontractor can apparently wash its hands of any obligations its predecessor had to these mostly minimum-wage employees. And frankly, that stinks.
