Spanish-based hotel chain NH Hoteles plans to dismiss 646 employees. The measure will mainly affect the cleaning and maintenance services staff. The company has announced its plan to outsource those services in the future. The Unions have called for a strike on the 11th of April in protest against the measure. In order to achieve an agreement, the company has proposed to negotiate with the outsourcing companies the hiring of the dismissed workers. Nevertheless, the union has rejected the offer.
