round 80 employees of Grand Q Hotel in Gorontalo stageda rally on Wednesday, protesting alleged union-busting moves made by thecompany, which recently suspended the hotel'€™s general manager and demoted fiveother employees who are hotel worker'€™s union board members.

Ahmad Andrika Hassan, chairman of the hotel worker'€™s union, said that the company had also arbitrarily cut the allowances of 20 employees.
