Vegas hotel housekeepers want “panic buttons” in case of assaults
Las Vegas hotel housekeepers negotiating new union contracts with their employers are seeking something New York City hotel housekeepers have had for five years: “panic buttons” they can use to summon immediate help in case they’re assaulted.
Geoconda Argüello-Kline, Secretary-Treasurer of the Culinary Union, said contract negotiations will be used as an opportunity to get safety buttons for 14,000 guest room attendants, as well as stronger sexual harassment and gender discrimination language.
