Workers at the Algarve Casino Hotel in Portimão have decided to call a strike on New Year's Eve according to their union.
That five-star hotel is situated above Praia da Rocha and the workers have called a strike to “pressure the administration” according to the union.
The allegation is that the company refuses to meet to discuss “the concerns and proposals of the workers”' despite the economic date showing that the industry is in good health.
The union also noted, for no particularly pertinent reason, that in one year “1,300 jobs in the region were destroyed,” most of which belonged to people who are not able to receive unemployment benefits.
