Maldivian staff working at Alidhoo Resort in Haa Alifu Atoll have declared themselves on strike claiming that the management of the resort had not paid them salary for last month.
The resort is operated by Yacht Tours, owned by local businessman and former MP Abdulla Jabir.
“It is almost the end of this month and Ramadan is coming up – we have to send money to our families back on the islands and we are really broke,” said a staff member working in the resort.
He claimed allowances of the staffs working in the resort had not been paid for the last three months, including service charge and overtime.
