Resort employees in Baa atoll staged a protest Saturday to demand a minimum wage and protection of labour rights.
Organised by the Tourism Employees Association of Maldives, about 100 workers from eight resorts gathered at a sandbank in the atoll.
TEAM vice president Mohamed Sodiq told local media that the purpose of the rally was to demand worker’s rights.
“No government has cared for us. Every government pledges to protect our rights and establish minimum wage. But no government has fulfilled that promise so far,” he said.
