All Fiji National Provident Fund owned hotels and resorts are expected to make majority of their workers redundant by the end of this month according to National Union of Hotel and Catering Employees General Secretary Daniel Urai.
FNPF owns Sheraton Resort, Westin Resort, Denarau Golf Course and Development Land, Fiji Marriott Resort Momi Bay, the Intercontinental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa, Holiday Inn Suva, Yatule Beach Resort Limited, FNPF Hotel Resort and the Grand Pacific Hotel.
Urai says they are looking at more than 2,000 workers who are likely to be made redundant.
Urai says the resorts have been in constant discussions with the union regarding the future of the workers for some time now.
He says the Fiji Marriott Resort on Momi Bay and the Westin and Sheraton Resorts on Denarau Island are expected to make more than 900 workers redundant while around 40 workers are expected to be let go by Yatule Beach Resort Limited.
The Inter-Continental Fiji Golf Resort and Spa is also expected to make around 200 workers redundant with only a handful of workers employed at the moment.
There has been no indication whether workers will be made redundant by Holiday Inn, Grand Pacific Hotel and FNPF Hotel Resort.
When contacted by Legend FM News, FNPF says the Fund’s hotels are managed by hotel management companies and they are responsible for their human resource matters.
