Staff uprising in J Resorts Handhufushi underway!

Almost ninety percent of Handhufushi resort staff is raising their voice at the office of Human Resources Manager demanding for the pay. Maldivians, Sri Lankans, Indians and Bangladeshi workers are among the combined force urging the authority for the immediate release of salary. Today is seventh of January 2009, and salary for December 2008 has not yet been paid to Maldivians either. “Service charges for the past three months have not been paid for us, we have family depending on what we earn” shouted a desperate Maldivian staff. Even worse is the case with the foreigners. Sri Lankans, Indians and Bangladeshi workers are serving the company without pay for the past three months before they broke their silence today.
All the operations of the hotel are brought to halt. According to reliable sources within the hotel occupancy today is 75% which is almost equivalent to full occupancy given the availability of rooms. Many rooms are due to undergo maintenance works. ‘Since MTDC left the hotel to the hand of Jabir, the condition and infrastructure of the hotel started to deteriorate’ stated an angry resident referring to the undergoing protest in Handhufushi.
Staff complaints, negligence of corporate social responsibility, destruction and damages to the infrastructure of the hotel is everyday ‘haa-hoo’ since Jabir took over the administration of the hotel. If these things continue ‘we will not stay quite, we may move in’ stated a frustrated Adduan. View Photos
