06 Apr 2015, 7:54 PM
A petition calling for sweeping changes to resort employees’ working conditions and a minimum wage has collected two thousand signatures during its first five days.
The Tourism Employees’ Association of Maldives, which launched the petition, said it had amassed signatures from workers on 17 resorts since last Wednesday.
“Signing for new hopes and rights,” the group said on its Facebook page. “Keep going [with] the great work of humankind.”
The petition demands a minimum monthly wage of US $600 across the sector through an amendment to the Employment Act.
