Hilton Maldives luxury resort workers take to the sea to claim their rights!

31-10-2012

TEAM, the union at the Hilton Conrad Maldives luxury resort whose management has challenged a court order to reinstate unjustly terminated workers [1], is stepping up union action in its fight for reinstatement and full back pay.

TEAM has been leafletting new arrivals at the airport and at local islands from which guests are transported to the resort. And on October 28, the union organized a boat picket, using fishing vessels, to take their message closer to home.
