The organizing of hotel cleaners in France: an intersectional analysis

法国工人的工作条件正在恶化，护理人员由于其种族和性别身份而面临独特的困难。集体行动在促进改善护理工作者的劳动条件方面发挥了关键作用，例如，通过实施护理工作政策。尽管这些政策还没有作为明确的平等措施制度化，但这些政策受到了性别和种族化规范的影响，自1980年代以来，法国的劳工活动受到了极大的削弱，并面临着新的障碍，特别是对种族化妇女而言。由于“反恐战争”，随着极右翼利用新形式的种族主义和民粹主义，安全化程度的增加已经转化为新形式的国家控制。此外，COVID-19疫情加剧了这些困难。不仅人们变得更加孤立和经济不安全，而且这也是法国政府攻击结社自由的机会。

French workers are experiencing worsening conditions, with care workers facing unique difficulties due to their racialized and gendered identities. Collective action has been crucial in prompting the improvement of labour conditions of care workers through, for example, the implementation of policies about care work. Although they have not been institutionalized as explicit equality measures, these policies have been shaped by gendered and racialized norms.Labour activism in France has been extremely weakened since the 1980s and it is facing new barriers, especially for racialized women. The increased securitization, due to the "War on Terror", with the far-right exploiting new forms of racism and populism, has translated into new forms of state control. Furthermore, these difficulties have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only have people become more isolated and economically insecure, but this has also been an opportunity for the French government to attack the freedom of association.
