Instead, we are being told we must reapply and may not be qualified for the jobs we’ve held for decades. We love our jobs and community and can’t wait to get back to work. Before the pandemic, we earned a living wage and had benefits, making it possible for us to live and participate in the community we served. Now, our hotel is set to reopen in October 2021, but despite taking advantage of two PPP loans worth a combined $2.5 million dollars, with the stated purpose of preserving jobs, the hotel management has NOT committed to recall us to our jobs when business returns.Ĭolumbia, Maryland was founded on the principles of economic and racial inclusion. Owner David Costello told us he wanted to renovate the hotel while it was closed. In April of 2020 our hotel closed due to the COVID pandemic. Many of us have worked at the former Sheraton Columbia, soon reopening as the Merriweather Lakehouse Hotel, for decades.
We are majority Black and Brown residents of Columbia, Maryland and the surrounding area. We are former workers of the Merriweather Lakehouse Hotel
