The collective of Benidorm maids is popularly known by the new word. Kelly’s with “they clean them“, they rose to arms after the publication of a job offer for a vacant position in their union in Alicante.

The group showed its anger after being profiled.

First job offer. In the job offer shared by @kellysbenidormcuya on her profile, it was read that the position of cleaning assistant in three and four star hotels was announced. Vacancy requirements included having at least one year of experience, being “multilingual”, “having excellent presentation and a high level of personal care” and being “resilient to setbacks”. In exchange for these requirements, a permanent fixed contract and 30 hours of work per month was offered for 1,290 Euros.

Benidorm and Navy servicemen’s representatives expressed their anger in front of the microphones. Radio Benidorm according to the requirements of the offer.

“Excellent presentation and top staff”. Yolanda García, spokesperson of the collective The Kellys of Benidorm, explained: “Of course, we have to go to work clean, even if we leave sweaty and tired after a very difficult day where we have to clean a minimum of 22 rooms per person per day. But if it’s dirty, we won’t work. “I think it’s disrespectful.”

“Resilience to difficulties”. The group of cleaners were equally angry about having to “resilient in the face of setbacks.” According to Yolanda García, the job offer already states that the position does not meet the occupational risk conditions. “The resilience claim is already asking you to adapt well to challenges or stressful situations and not have to take medication to endure your work situation. They’re already telling you that your job will be stressful and overwhelming and you need to adapt to that.”

The cleaners’ representative took this opportunity to remind that companies must comply with the law on the prevention of occupational risks. According to the newspaper People71.5% of cleaning workers use painkillers and have pain in 4 to 7 areas, 4 out of 10 people have depressive symptoms, 95.9% experience clinical anxiety due to work conditions.

“Multilingual”. Requiring the use of language a priori may not attract attention if it is to be part of a hotel service, especially in a tourist area such as Marina Alta and Benidorm. However, we must remember that cleaning services are outsourced and are not part of the hotel staff.

The cleaners’ representative told El País: “When you open the room, normally the customer is not there. “Maybe you meet him in the hallway and he asks you for a pillow, but the normal thing is that he does this through the switchboard.”

Correction of the offer. Following the controversy caused by the conditions in the first job offer, the applicant company made changes to its advertisement. The requirement of “excellent presentation and senior staff” was removed and “Multilingual” was replaced with the phrase “Other languages ​​are valuable”.

However, as a notice to seafarers, the “Resilience in the face of setbacks” requirement is retained in the modified version of the job offer.
