NH Hotels staff to strike over mass redundancy plans
Friday, April 5, 2013 @ 12:39 AM
EMPLOYEES of the NH Hotels chain will be on strike next Tuesday across the country in protest over plans to make 646 members of staff redundant at 39 branches.
Yesterday saw demonstrations at branches throughout Spain, and unions say staff are 'feeling pessimistic' about the next meeting due with management on Thursday.
Next week's strike is expected to include support from workers from other hotel chains to make up the numbers, and will be the second on in less than a month after NH Hotels employees downed tools on March 25.
Ten days previously, they had been notified of restructure plans which would see 12 per cent of the payroll made redundant.
These include 95 workers at the five hotels in the southern region of Andalucía in Málaga, Sevilla, Granada, Huelva and Jaén.
