There is a face-off between the management of The Federal Palace Hotel and their staffers over ill treatment and salary issue. And this has led to total stand down of activities as the aggrieved workers have shut the hotel.
We reliably gathered that the face off began on Tuesday, January 27,2014 when the management refused to yield to the petitions sent by the staffers to complained about the way the expatriates treat them like slaves. A source alleged that they work over time and they were treated like trash. Also, some of the females claimed they were intimidated by their bosses. According to our source, the hotel net in huge revenue but pay them paltry sum and still expect them to work like slaves. Aside that, the management deduct over N7,500“ it’s a modern day form of slavery which is not good”. We learnt scores of them have refused to work until the issue is resolved.
