Behind the Scenes in a Hotel

by Consumers' League of New York City

RECOMMENDATIONS

On the basis of the facts set forth in this report, the Consumers’ League of New York believes that there is need for a special code for the hotel industry. The nature of the work in hotels is such that regulations regarding the length of hours and the distribution of hours in shifts cannot be made to apply to all occupations alike. Separate arrangements, therefore, must be made for chambermaids, pantry workers, waitresses, etc. The Consumers’ League recommends that a more intensive and extensive investigation be made by the State Industrial Commission to secure additional information necessary for drafting such a special code.
