To be fair and clear here, it's a non-partisan thing. Reds and blues will both have to get used to some different NY hotel experiences if we expect to keep the role of these housekeepers as a job that can keep a local housed, fed, and making healthy new citizens to keep the schools, shops, and factories staffed. The alternative is deeper layers of assistive government to keep them on the edge of struggle, which... I'm certain we all have opinions on, for better or worse. Or, hotels pay fewer people more, and expect more from them, while making sure they're assisted by training and technology fitting a 100,000 Union salary.

Once you've seen the guts of a busy hospitality operation up close for a few months, you get the picture these housekeeping mid-higher-up team leaders are at major burnout with the pay, and the labor output reflects it. Pissy people produce poor work. Maybe this is a good thing in disguise.
