Nordic unions join forces for the global hotel housekeepers initiative

On May 21, the first meeting of the Nordic Union Coordination Workgroup on the hotel housekeepers initiative took place. The coordination group discussed initiatives and campaigns that unions can run together in the Nordic region, which includes Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.

Starting from this year all countries will participate in the global campaign: best practices will be collected, a survey in all countries will be carried out and media communication and all social media will convey the same message. The final goal would be to create debate in all the Nordic countries, putting quality ahead of pricing and claiming reduced working pace for hotel housekeepers.
