The New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council (as of this writing in 2026, the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council) website was first captured in 2009 and contained information on job opportunities such as Hotel Employees Action Team (H.E.A.T.) System Supervisor, H.E.A.T Assistant, and Lead Organizer. In late 2009, the website was redesigned and included news listings; a listing of unionized hotels; hotel boycotts; political endorsements; their newsletter, Hotel Voice; obituaries; organizing successes; and other multimedia. In 2011, the website contained a response from the union president about the New York v. Strauss-Kahn case. In 2013, the website changed URLs from http://www.nyhtc.org/ to http://www.hotelworkers.org/. In 2013, the website contained a summary of their contract with Resorts World and information about their Hotel Soccer League. Beginning in 2017, the website reflected their shift to representing gaming workers in addition to hotel workers. In 2020, the website was redesigned and focused on protecting and supporting their workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially regarding unemployment and financial relief. In 2020, the union also highlighted resources regarding racial justice in response to the murder of George Floyd. In 2021, the union negotiated a coronavirus safety protocol. In 2023, the website contained information on the Greater Regional Industry-Wide Agreement for hotel workers in the New York suburbs and New York City's Short-Term Rental Registration Law. In 2024-2025, the website focused on the Safe Hotels Act. In 2026, additional websites were created to support hotel workers ahead of their industry-wide contract expiring on June 30, 2026. The ratified contract was reflected in a major redesign of the website.
