\"hotel-housekeepers-declaration\"<\/p>\n

Speaking before members of the European Parliament on October 19, two hotel housekeepers who are union shop stewards called for action to put an end to the appalling working conditions in Europe’s hospitality industry. Gladys Medina (CC.OO) and Carmen Casin (UGT) described to MEPs the permanent job insecurity, high rate of illness and injury and declining wages stemming from massive outsourcing, increased workloads and austerity-driven labour market deregulation.<\/p>\n

The two addressed the parliament at the invitation of Spanish United Left MEP Paloma Lopez of the European United Left\/Nordic Green Left group, who together with other MEPs adopted a written declaration on the working conditions of hotel cleaning staff in Europe calling on the European Commission to monitor and evaluate the situation of these workers across the EU, among other measures.<\/p>\n
