When we travel for work or pleasure, hotel housekeepers help us to feel comfortable away from home.  They clean our rooms, fluff our pillows, and leave us chocolates.

We rarely see these housekeepers, and their invisibility has contributed to these workers being among the worst paid and most overworked members of the service industry.  Hotel housekeepers, most of whom are women of color earn as little as $8.50 an hour, often are unable to take lunch or rest breaks, and have a rate of injury that is more than double the rate in the service industry as a whole.  Those luxury beds, extra pillows, and warm comforters are heavy, and contribute to a high incidence of back and joint pain.  More than two-thirds of housekeepers report taking pain killers just to get through the day.

Take the hotel guest pledge and do your part to help these women to secure better wages and safer working conditions. 

After you take the pledge, you will have an opportunity to purchase a luggage tag, which will help you to remember your pledge, while also helping you to keep an eye on your luggage.
