这项研究的经验，酒店管家在多伦多，谁是主要的移民妇女的颜色，揭示了破坏性的健康影响，他们的工作。随着这个“全球城市”的酒店业向高端市场发展，并寻求为富有的客户提供更豪华的服务，酒店客房服务工作变得更加体力和繁重，导致大多数工人经历了高度的疼痛和受伤。酒店业被认为是一种种族化的劳动分工，底层的人在接近退休年龄和健康状况恶化时很容易被抛弃。最后，一个帐户的影响，工会化和酒店工人的持续斗争的变化。
This study of the experiences of hotel housekeepers in Toronto, who are predominantly immigrant women of colour, reveals the damaging health impact of their work. As the hotel industry in this ‘global city’ has moved upmarket and sought to offer more luxury services to its wealthy customers, hotel housekeeping work has become more physically demanding and burdensome, resulting in the majority of workers experiencing a high degree of pains and injuries. The hotel industry is seen as operating a racialised division of labour, with those at the bottom vulnerable to being discarded as they approach retirement age and their health deteriorates. Finally, an account is given of the impact of unionisation and the hotel workers’ ongoing struggles for change.
