Hotel workers’ unions will strike on December 25 and 31 and January 1, 5 and 6 due to the cessation of negotiations on the collective agreement that should include the hotel sector and tourism activities in the region.
Tourism in Madrid is expected to see some turmoil at the end of the year due to a five-day strike schedule for hotel employees in the region, the Spanish business press reported on Sunday.
Thus, hotel workers’ unions will go on strike on December 25 and 31 and January 1, 5 and 6, due to the cessation of negotiations on the collective agreement that should include the hotel sector and tourism activities in the region. .
“After four meetings, we were forced to speak out about the position of employers in the sector, who do not care about the needs of the 180,000 workers in the sector. “We tried to go ahead with the salary increase but they did not respond to us with a counteroffer,” explained the union’s Secretary General of the Service Union, Angelis Baloy, speaking to Europa Press.
In this context, the union urged the sector to stop “because there is a limit to patience,” and called on members “in solidarity” to support this call. “It is urgent to agree on decent salary increases and put an end to precarious working conditions. Workers are losing their purchasing power,” this union official explained.
