Durban - Workers said they had had enough of poor management, racial discrimination and the unfair labour practices by their employer.
In December, workers affiliated with the National Union of Civil and Allied Workers embarked on a two-day strike over wages and unfavourable working conditions. However, hotel management placed union members on a defensive lockout. Workers have since abandoned the union. The three-star hotel has been the jewel of the city for decades, mainly providing services to public servants. Today, workers say it is a shadow of its former self, with a leaking roof, a lift that has not functioned in three years, broken doors and a ghost in room 141 which often terrorised guests.
