The Hulhulé Island Hotel has suspended six Maldivian employees after its local workforce protested against the suspension of a local staff and alleged discrimination between local and foreign staff.
The suspension came after more than 60 Maldivian staff signed a petition on February 7 demanding that the management lifts the suspension of Assad Ali, a staff member accused of leaving work without permission during duty hours.
The petition also asked for the “immediate withdrawal of the allegations” against Assad and called for “more cooperative support and fairness” from the HIH management.
It also asked the management not to “take this act personal” and not to take “action or threat” against those who signed the petition.
