Assemblyman Lancman sat down with Neal Kwatra of the New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council (NYHTC), to discuss health and safety issues for members of the Council.

NYHTC represents approximately 28,000 hotel workers in New York, including housekeepers, front desk employees, bell and door service workers, laundry workers, maintenance workers and security guards.

Hotel workers experience a wide range of safety issues on the job, including high rates of back injuries, chemical exposure from cleaning equipment and maintaining security in hotels.
