Michael Kill CEO NTIA Says
“Our industry is suffering heavily from rising costs, as inflation reaches a high, with most reporting an estimated loss of up to 40% in trade from the previous strike action, and unions announcing this morning that strikes could go on indefinitely is hugely concerning for the hospitality and late night sector.”
“Long term strike action would be catastrophic, sporadic weekly or daily planned strike action is eating into consumer confidence, hospitality and late night sector workforce who aren’t able to work from home are struggling to find safe alternative transport at night at additional cost, as well as having a direct impact on the transient mobility of tourists across the country”
“The current operating climate will lead to irreparable damage without Government intervention, leading to loss of businesses and jobs, slowing recovery.”
