Association Works to Help Displaced Hotel Workers

The Hotel Association of New York City, along with the New York Hotel Trades Council and affiliated trade groups, has been working hard since September 11 to create relief measures that would support lodging industry workers adversely affected by the tragedy. One of these measures is a $5 million special relief fund that has been created to provide continuation of medical benefits to workers displaced by the closings of two member hotels: Marriott World Trade Center and the Millenium Hilton.<
