“But I believe my firing was unfair.”Rabbi Neil Comess-Daniels demonstrates for Margarita Santos, 62, left, in hopes of getting her job back at Le Merigot Hotel in Santa Monica. Santos disputes this, as does the union, but the termination letter from Le Merigot General Manager Damien Hirsch left no room for discussion. And she fears getting sick at work. At the Le Merigot rally Wednesday morning, Kristin McCowan of the Santa Monica City Council spoke up in defense of Santos. “They could have been decent with her,” Comess-Daniels told me, saying there were multiple humane options the hotel could have considered.
