Hospitality workers crash tourism board meeting, call for expanded health care options

[admin]

At a May board meeting for economic development group New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation, a boisterous group of hospitality workers and their supporters staged a demonstration and called for better treatment of workers in the city's powerful hospitality and tourism sector.

Around 30 demonstrators, including members of New Orleans Hospitality Workers Committee (NOHWC), New Orleans Workers Group and the People's Assembly, assembled at the public meeting* held in a coolly anonymous meeting room upstairs at Manning's Eat-Drink-Cheer.?
