Summary: A temporary hotel worker at San Francisco’s Marriott Marquis said she was fired after speaking to The Chronicle about her claim of unpaid wages. Maria Calles, a Salinas resident, said she was fired Thursday by Marriott contractor Environmental Service Partners, which hired temporary cleaners to replace striking hotel workers.
