Anantara Kihaavah staff gain the right to maintain beards in the workplace through union effort
In a victory for workers’ rights, staff at Anantara Kihaavah Resort have refused to shave their beards as required by the resort’s grooming policy. The refusal came after long discussions with management, which failed to address the staff’s concerns.
The staff’s concerns were ignored by management, which refused to amend the grooming policy. The staff moved on to take collective action and refuse to shave their beards. The resort was forced to back down and allow the staff to keep their beards after days of non-compliance by the staff of the resort.
We congratulate the staff for their collective efforts to preserve their rights and to have worked together to gain this freedom. Efforts of strong individuals such as yourselves are a force of progress to the betterment of the industry and working conditions for staff.
The Anantara Kihaavah Resort staff’s victory would not have been possible without the support of their union. Unions are essential for workers’ rights. They provide a voice for workers and help them to negotiate with employers for better wages, working conditions, and benefits. Unions also provide legal representation for workers who are facing discrimination or unfair treatment.
The Anantara Kihaavah Resort staff’s victory is a reminder that workers have the power to improve their own lives through collective action. It is also a reminder of the importance of unions which are essential for workers’ rights and for improving the working conditions for all workers.
