| Luxury hotels which exploit Australian workers and destroy the environment will be named and shamed on a new ethical rating website.
An initiative of hotel workers union the LHMU, The First Star website - www.thefirststar.com.au - is aimed to be a tool for travellers and workers to push for social change.
Launching the website in Sydney on Thursday, LHMU national secretary Louise Tarrant said she was confident the public would back the scheme.
"People value quality ,but not off the back of exploitation or at the expense of environment," she said.
She said hotel workers were often among the most poorly paid in Australia and deserved better working conditions.
