Hotel worker says she lost job because of testimony about 'blacklisting'; Hyatt, contractor deny she was fired [USA]

[A] subcontracted Hyatt worker said she lost her job after testifying before the City-County Council about the alleged practice of hotel blacklisting. Labor groups…say…[hotels] make agreements with subcontracting companies not to hire away their workers…shutting out employees of subcontractors from moving into longer-term jobs with the hotels… Elvia Bahena, 36, said she was fired from contractor United Service [Companies] because she publicly expressed her views to the council this week. A manager at…United Service disputed Bahena's contention that she has been fired, saying rather she "currently is unassigned."
