Most of the striking workers were housekeepers and kitchen staff who are seeking better wages, better retirement packages and less work loads. The housekeeper have once again cited oversized beds and pillows as to blame for making their workload harder.&#x3C;blockquote&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E; The demand to reduce the number of rooms a housekeeper must clean is not &#x22;so we can spend time relaxing,&#x22; [union president Myriam] Pacheco said. &#x22;Most of the rooms used to have only one bed.
