Around 80 employees of Grand Q Hotel in Gorontalo staged a rally on Wednesday, protesting alleged union-busting moves made by the company, which recently suspended the hotel'€™s general manager and demoted five other 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.

Ahmad alleged that the hotel'€™s finance manager, Rocky Liyanto, was behind the moves.

Rocky, however, denied allegations of union busting. '€œTheir habits and working performance are bad. The hotel suffered losses because of these matters,'€ he said.
