BOSTON (AP) - Chambermaids
at Boston's luxurious Cooley Plaza
Hotel have been ordered to put aside
their mops and start scrubbing floors
by hand, angering union leaders who
say washing floors on hands and
knees is demeaning. ,
"A maid is a maid, and that's just
what she has to do," said Alan Tre-

Distinction, which operates the
Cooley Plaza for owner John
Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co.
He said the hotel maintains its

Cooley's nearly 60 maids are not
exempt, he said, adding he believes
the Boston Hotel and Restaurant

protesting the order because contract

Bozzotto said the hotel's maids were
ordered Nov. 10 to turn in their
mops. Signs in the hotel directed the
women, who are paid $7.15 an hour
to start.
"There will be no mops used in
the rooms of this hotel until further
notice! Please help yourself to as
many clean rags as you like for hand
washing floors."
"This means that they can only
clean with their hands, and that
means they'll be on their hands and
knees," Bozzotto said. "The hotel,
knows that 99 percent of these maids
are minorities and most of them are
older women. It's just outrageous
that in 1987, we have no cleaning
instruments to do this job.
"The scene of a white male sitting
in his hotel room reading The Wall

Most of the maids are unwilling

for fear of losing their jobs, Bozzotto

and lost bagga
WASHINGTON (AP) - The major airlines
reported fewer delays and lost baggage during October,
but one in every five flights still arrived at least 15
minutes late, the government said yesterday.
The Transportation Department guide for air
travelers, using figures supplied by the carriers, for the
second straight month ranked American Airlines with
the fewest flight delays. American had 86.1 percent of
its flights arriving on time.
At the other end of the ranking was Pacific
Southwest Airlines with a 60.3 percent on-time record.
San Francisco had the worst on-time arrival record
among 27 airports during October, with just over half
of its flights arriving on time, followed by Los
Angeles International Airport with a 65.3 percent on-
time record.
Two of the nation's busiest airports had the best on-
time performances. Atlanta's Hartsfield International
had 88 percent of its flights on time followed by
Dallas-Fort Worth, where American Airlines has its
largest hub, with 87.6 percent.
In all, 80.3 percent of the more than 400,000 flights
during October arrived on time, the department said. In
September, 77 percent of the flights were on time.
The department's second monthly consumer's guide
on air travel reflected attempts by airlines to improve
their on-time record by changing flight schedules,
lengthening scheduled times in the air, and speeding up
ground operations at hub airports.
The statistics showed that the number of chronically
late flights, those arriving tardy at least 80 percent of
the time, declined from 150 in September to 124 in
October. No flights were late 100 percent of the time
'e during Oct.
in October, while six flights were never on time the
previous month.
After American Airlines, carriers with the best on-
time record during October were Southwest with 85.2
percent on-time arrivals and Continental with 84.4
percents. The airlines with the worst record after Pacific
Southwest, were America West, 74.9 percent, and
Alaska, 75.2 percent.
Several of the 14 airlines, which are required to
submit monthly reports, showed sizable improvements
in promptness in October. USAir and Northwest, the
two worst carriers in September, increased their on-
time record but still ranked in the bottom half of the
carrier list.
The department reported a drop in mishandled
baggage in October with an average of 6.94 complaints
for every 1,000 passengers, compared with 7.91 the
previous month.
Northwest Airlines and United Airlines for the
second month led with the highest number of baggage
complaints, while two airlines, Pan American and
Eastern, which ranked high in number of consumer
complaints to the Transportation Department, had the
fewest complaints involving baggage.
Northwest had 10.62 baggage complaints for every
1.000 passengers carried, followed by United at 10.26
complaints. Pan Am reported 2.85 complaints per
1,000 passengers and Eastern 3.91 complaints.,
Officials said, however, that in some cases airlines
have used different criteria when counting baggage
complaints, so a direct comparison among airlines may
not be totally accurate.

campus said they have not altered
their recruiting plans.
"If we find someone really good,
we're not going to turn them away
because business is bad," said Ernie
Hinderliter, sales manager for Merrill
Lynch in Bloomfield Hills.
"We don't envision making any
change in our recruiting plans," said
Dennis Kimble of the Michigan
National Bank. "We still have to
look at the future. We can't stop our
whole recruiting on what happened
six weeks ago."
