HAN Dismayed at Worker Union's Protest

The ongoing protest of All Nepal Hotel and Restaurants Workers Union (ANHRWU) might disturb hotel bookings, affecting Nepal Tourism Year 2011, said Madhav Om Shrestha, executive director of Hotels' Association Nepal (HAN).

"If the agitation launched by the union persists, we will be compelled to cancel hotel bookings," said Shrestha.

"Currently, the workers are demanding 40 per cent increment in basic salary and 100 per cent increment in dearness allowance," he said.

Meanwhile, ANHRWU central committee president Ramesh Pant said that the demands placed by the union are reasonable. "It's a month that the demand was forwarded but there has been no concern shown," said Pant.
