Trouble in paradise

But according to the International Union of Foodworkers (IUF) "there's trouble in paradise for workers at the hotel who attempt to exercise their basic rights."
About 40% of the hotel's workers are on precarious fixed-term contracts. They live with the permanent threat that their contracts won't be renewed, and have worked 12-hour shifts with no compensation for overtime. Workers began forming a union in January this year.
Union members immediately came under pressure from management to resign their membership in the union. And on 2 March, union chairman Augus Sarwatama was suspended in an absurd procedure which elevated a purely internal union matter into a case of allegedly harming the business. His contract expired on July 31, leaving the workers without their elected union chairman, their union still unrecognized and no process for negotiating a collective agreement.
Marriott's 5-star island paradise formula? Precarious employment, no union, unpaid overtime, no due process and no rights for workers.
Please support the online campaign and send a message to Marriott, the world's largest hotel group, insisting that they respect human rights at their branded hotels and secure the reinstatement of the union chairman:
