The recent allegations that Dominique Strauss-Kahn, then- president of the International Monetary Fund, sexually assaulted a housekeeper in a Manhattan hotel spotlights potential dangers hotel personnel face on the job. Housekeeping employees, many of whom are female, are particularly vulnerable, since the nature of their jobs places them inside guest rooms. Incidents that rise to the level of violence alleged in the Strauss-Kahn case are extremely rare. In fact, I have never heard of any," said John Turchiano, spokesperson for the New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council, the union representing 30,000 workers in 200 New York City hotels.

Defining the point at which coercion occurs, however, is the conceptually more difficult task. Recently, coercion has emerged as a significant source of analytic concern in a developing area of the law-contemporary involuntary labor or human trafficking. It is in this setting where coercion is explicitly codified as a fundamental legal element in human-trafficking crimes.
