that's about seventy five percent of hotel workers are unionized and so you pick the wrong city and it's a mess of a union worker it's a tough union and it's a very straightforward very strong that anybody who is experiencing abuse or inappropriate behavior has the right and has the ability to report that's their superior and absolutely as their top protected and that's part of their contract they have spent years fighting for this the i think the new york hotel workers union first formed in the one nine hundred thirty s. so you know this fighting for rights of a particular type of worker which is in a service industry that basically makes its money off of being able to provide every convenience possible to its customers and you know you think about the typical customer is always right environment i can't think of anything more so than a three thousand dollar a night hotel room and particularly a man who is in charge of the world's economy is really feeling that he has the ultimate ability to do whatever he wants here's a woman who is you know for lack of a better word cleaning

honestly i don't know maybe only one of the strongest unions in new york city is the is the hotel workers union and they have in their contract that if any other workers come forward and claim that they've been sexually harassed by guests that they cannot be fired for that because typically in the in the hospitality industry and i've got i do this on the radio get calls from all over the country from maids who are talking about how i think i'm fired up literally reporting it's actually harassment but your if you're right it was and i wonder if you think it was because i heard you had said this if . you don't need a union contract if she's you know if she was fired for reporting that no one in their right mind would go to a soap and tell in new york the business would be shut no i would never even know they would go to the press to know what to grab and there you would want to go to arrest and charge you know the head of the i.m.f. for the rape you have to write and. tell would lose tons of business if they fired someone because something despicable like that happened jamie i you know i hate to
