    On behalf of Young's Market Company, we are very concerned about the financial and regulatory burden these ordinances will place on Phoenix businesses, further jeopardizing a struggling industry and the thousands of jobs it supports. The hospitality and tourism industry is committed to creating safe, healthy environments for its employees and customers, but these ordinances were drafted without stakeholder input and comment. We look forward to working with the city, but urge a NO vote today.

    I am a member of Unite Here Local 11 and I work at a hotel in dt Phoenix for over 10 years. I am currently working because I need to maintain my health insurance and I was worried that I would lose it or not be able to pay for it if I stop. I wish we had extra protections because I feel nervous going into work and seeing people without masks. I would feel more comfortable and safe knowing that if I get sick I will be able to keep paying my bills with extra sick time.

    Hello, my name is Alex, I am a member of UNITEHERE Local 11 and I work in Sheraton Grand Phoenix Downtown. I am writing to ask for your support of the Tourism and Hospitality Ordinance. I could lose my health insurance and PUA at the end of July, and my return to work at the airport right now is not safe. There is high exposure in the airport and we are worried about how to stay safe while we work. We need your leadership, please take a stand for our families!

    Hello, good morning. My name is Ruth Holt. I’m a member of Unite Here Local 11I I’m work in a hotel in downtown Phoenix. Right now I am not working, but I am concerned that when I return to my workplace they will not take the necessary health measures. The fear of contagion is enormous because they do not give us a guarantee of safety in our work area. As workers we need health guarantees for all and protection in the work areas.

    Hello, My name is Esther and I am a Unite Here Local 11 Union member. Arizona is currently experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases and I fear going back to work for this same reason. We need our elected officials to implement a system where workers are protected from corporations that are putting their own best interests before a worker's safety.

    Hi my name is Yaritza Salazar and I am sales associate. As the virus begins to spread the company that I work for has failed to implement a system to keep my coworkers and customers safe from exposure to the virus, they have even failed at implementing our states recent mandate on wearing a mask. We should not be forced to work in these conditions, and we shouldn't have to choose between staying employed or staying alive.

    I am a member of unite here local 11 and I have diabetes. My biggest concern is returning to work and getting sick, especially because I'm at a higher risk of getting sick. At the same time, I still am paying a lot per month to maintain my insurance and unemployment will be cut very soon so I feel like I will have to return to work soon. I want to make sure I am safe when I start working again.

    Hello my name is Mireya Rosales and I am a hotel worker and member of Unite Here Local 11. We need protection so I can make sure my family doesn't get sick and we need extra sick time so that we can make sure if we get sick we can stay home, not infect others, and still pay our bills. The coronavirus situation in az is even worse now than three months ago and we need these extra protections to feel safe enough to go back to work.
