"Long Beach Best Western staff to be laid off as Measure N date nears"
Kelsey Duckett writes on the ContraCostaTimes website:
"Best Western Golden Sails Hotel on Dec. 10 posted a notice for employees, which was obtained by the Press-Telegram, stating that 'all employees will be considered terminated after their last shift of duty on or before Dec. 15.'
The memo, sent by Golden Sails General Manager Mathew Daniel, also says that the hotel has been running 'with a low room occupancy for the last few years and (we) have been thinking all these years to downsize the hotel with fewer rooms to stay in business.'
It goes on to say that 'the time has come now and we have reduced the size of the hotel.'
The memo doesn't say whether the downsizing will bring the hotel at 6258 E. Pacific Coast Highway under the Measure N wage law's 100-room threshold."
