Trinidad Hilton and Conference Centre workers may start the New Year on a grim note after attempts by its union to the save jobs of almost 100 workers were not fruitful.
On Tuesday the Communication Workers’ Union (CWU) held a meeting again with the hotel’s management to find ways to mitigate against temporary lay-offs which take effect from January 4.
CWU’s head Clyde Elder said the union had been trying to get information from the St Ann s hotel to make a better-informed decision on behalf of the workers, but there was no co-operation.
About 100 employees of the State-owned Hilton Trinidad and Conference Centre in St Annâs are faÂcing temporary lay-offs from January 4 to March 4.
The Communication Workersâ Union (CWU), which represents the Hilton staff, is now calling on the Government to intervene to stop the lay-offs or it will take the matter to the Industrial Court as the decision did not follow good industrial relations practice.
CWU secretary general Clyde Elder said yesterday the union received the shocking news of the temporary lay-offs on Monday when it met the hotel management to discuss what it thought would have been âschedulingâ for the month of January.
