After a few days of striking and protests organised by AFUC (UNI's affiliate in Uruguay) in the lobby of a luxury Conrad hotel, the union and the management were convened in the Commission of the Labour Legislation in Uruguay. The strike started when Conrad dismissed nearly 40 workers without any explanations.

The strike had a considerable impact to the image of the 5-star hotel. Aiva, one of the leading companies in financial solutions, terminated their conference attended by 350 participants, after seeing workers demonstrating in the hotel lobby. Conrad management was forced to start negotiations with the union.

Intense negotiations of the Tripartite Commission lasted for a few hours and it was agreed to reinstate 10 workers. The remaining workers who wish to keep their jobs will be able to receive unemplyment benefits until the union finds the final solution and agreement with the management.

UNI Gaming Global Union is proud to see the commitment, bravery and solidarity of workers and trust they put in their trade union. We thank all affiliates who sent messages of support and letter to the Conrad management.
