Overseas investors should respect local culture
The Fiji Hotel Workers Union is urging overseas investors and expatriates managing hotels and resorts in Fiji to understand and respect the Cultures of the Fijian workers of this country.
Union General Secretary Daniel Urai says some of the bad remarks that are common in hotels by expatriate management should be stopped.
Urai says this was one of the reasons why some of his members had gone on a protest recently against the management of the RADDISONS RESORT at Denarau in Nadi.
“We have expatriate management who make counter-sending remarks to workers and we have addressed this in some other properties and some expatriates have been reviewed the way or they manage locals in the way they utter statement and words, to them and hopefully this will now change in the future.”
The dispute was finally settled by the union and the Resort management.Read more >> Fiji
