Hotel workers union reps deliver ‘higher wages’ petition

Representatives from the Algarve’s hotel and restaurant workers’ union demonstrated along the streets of Faro today, handing out leaflets outlining their protest against low wages and poor working conditions.

“This action aimed to contact workers to clarify the contradictory situation in the sector, where, on the one hand, there is a growth of company profits, and, on the other hand, wages and workers’ purchasing power is decreasing and working conditions are deteriorating,” the union leaders explained.
