“No agreement. Unions and employers left the negotiating table yesterday on the salaries of hotel and catering staff in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife without changing the situation one iota. The workers‘ representatives are unwilling to withdraw the demand made at the time for the seniority supplement and the employers’ representatives will not apply the wage improvement proposed by Ashotel if the demand is maintained. So unless there is an unlikely agreement in extremis, the trial will start today at 11.30 am, settling the dispute over the seniority bonus.”
