(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Hotel workers across the country are
now actively organizing against oppressive
employer policies. Many of these workers
are housekeepers who face an unrealistic

per day. Imagine if you had to clean 15 rooms
per day, including lifting heavy mattresses to
change sheets, bending and kneeling to clean
bathrooms and lugging industrial-size vacuums
around. Click
here to see which hotels are on the AFL-CIO
boycott list; check them out so you know where
not to check in. Click
