SYNOPIS
“Las Kellys”, the Spanish association of hotel Chambermaids organized outside majority unions, are struggling to improve the working conditions and empower women workers trapped in the precarity of the feminized labour market. Within the 15th minutes that they have to clean up a room, the different issues such as employment precarity, feminization of the invisible workload, health and medicalization, the politics of tourism, migration, community organizing and resistance braid together mapping the complexity that they are facing.
