If used before booking, the new site helps guests understand the status of labor disputes at properties, avoid disruptions to their trips or meetings, and use their consumer power to support good hospitality jobs that are enough to raise a family on.

Using FairHotel, groups and meeting planners can search by location, hotel brand, number of rooms, and size of ballroom space, in addition to the status of labor disputes including picket lines and strikes. FairHotel also provides language to help meeting planners protect a group event, ensure clean rooms, and allow groups to relocate if necessary.

Please check out FairHotel, use it when arranging your organization’s events or personal travel, and share with it your friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
