Strike hits Bali hotel

Strike hits Bali hotel

NUSA DUA, Bali: More than 100 employees of Nusa Dua Beach
Hotel went on strike yesterday, demanding a 100-percent raise in
wages and transport allowance.

The strike practically crippled the 380-room five-star hotel
on Thursday, although some workers refused to join.

Striking workers said yesterday they staged the sit-in after
the management failed to respond to their demand, submitted on
May 1. They had given the management until June 1 to respond.

Stefan Fenanlampir, the hotel's human resources Manager,
declined to comment, on the grounds he has been with the hotel
only six months.

The hotel, partly owned by the Brunei royal family, has just
been renovated. (23/pan)
