Trelawny resort manager fired over staff complaint
TRELAWNY, Jamaica — Another senior manager of a major all-inclusive resort on the North Coast has been fired based on complaints from staff.
Sources told Observer Online that workers at a Trelawny-based resort complained to officials of the Ministry of Tourism that the manager, a Mexican, was highly disrespectful and ill-treating them. They threatened to take industrial action if action was not taken against the manager.
This prompted urgent action by senior tourism officials led by portfolio minister Edmund Bartlett and Senior Advisor and Strategist in the Tourism Ministry Delano Seiveright.
Following talks with the owners of the hotel it was decided that the manager would be separated from his job.
Observer Online has withheld the name of the manager as we await a comment from the leadership of the resort.
Two senior managers of the luxury hotel Royalton Negril were separated from the entity recently following a protest last month by workers over their working conditions.
