Update: Hotel sacked staff, breaking promise

Following the news on Mandarin Oriental firing 31 staff last week, here is the update.

The hotel company has refused to re-hire 20 hotel staff it laid off and FTU are threatening legal action against them.

The union accuses the hotel company of violating contracts signed with the sacked employees on December 28, ahead of the hotel's closure for renovation. The contracts stated that the employees will be assigned to other jobs within Jardine Group.

Representative of the hotel company denied that there were such contracts signed by both parties.

A protest will be staged today at Jardine House.
