Hotel employees are calling for increased security to be provided by the richest hotel chain in the country, Marriott. Recently over 7,000 Marriott employees in seven cities walked out, citing the need for their employer to provide safer working conditions. One simple and often overlooked safety measure is Hotel Panic Buttons.

HOTEL PANIC BUTTONS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS BEING REQUIRED IN MANY CITIES AROUND THE US

In California, the sexual harassment and assault of housekeepers has increased daily at an alarming rate. Safety of hotel staff has become a liability and major concern. Technology in the form of a panic button can provide a solution to ensure the protection of cleaning staff.

We watched in horror as we heard the news. A crazed gunman had smuggled firearms into a Vegas hotel and carried out his heinous crime on October first which left 58 dead and hundreds more injured. How did this happen? How could we not have known? The answer is that often times hotels and resorts are not properly equipped with enough security panic alarms for their facilities.
