[Flashmob - Speech]
We are here today, because this hotel is under boycott – we are asking people not to come to this hotel. The Westin St. Francis are refusing to agree to a fair contract. The Westin St. Francis is refusing to pay affordable health care for the employed in this hotel, they would have to pay hundreds of dollars a month that they can not afford – and we are asking people who come to San Fransisco not to come to The Westin St. Francis because this is a bad, bad hotel

[Flashmob - Chorus]
Oh, No! -Oh-Oh-Oh
Don’t get caught in a bad hotel!
Oh, No! -Oh-Oh-Oh
Don’t get caught in a bad hotel!
