Striking hotel workers want panic buttons to prevent sexual assault. Does there need to be a trial before the panic-button can be pushed? By pushing the button, are they not making an accusation without providing any evidence?
“A 2016 survey of nearly 500 Chicago-area female hospitality workers found that 58 percent in the hotel industry and 77 percent in the casino industry had experienced sexual harassment by guests, according to the study by industry union Unite Here.”
“Unionized hotel workers in New York City have had similar devices since 2012, in the wake of a hotel housekeeper’s charge that she was sexually assaulted by former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn in a New York hotel in 2011.”
Are we supposed to oppose the implementation of the panic-button because we need to defend the chief of the IMF? Are we supposed to argue that these women 58% and those 77% of women are all lying, because they haven’t gathered all the evidence to go to trial?
