that is wrapped into this - A panic button. Being a maid is a particularly vulnerable occupation. That is why you usually see two of them working together.

$60K if their union can get it sounds reasonable (even if it is isn't just so long as the negotiation is fair so what). What I want to make sure is that every maid is entitled to work in this country. That will help in holding the wages up.

Hotels are also free to go with no maid service for multiday stays. Give the lodger $5/day for no maid service, and it will cut down your number of maids. I wonder how much maid service and additional towel/linen service costs per room at $60K/yr plus benefits.
