Five-star luxury resort One and Only Reethi Rah has fired thirteen of its staff following a mass strike over working conditions that began Friday morning, according to employees.

The dismissed staff includes Ahmed Easa, President of Tourism Employees Association Maldives, a new body that has been at the forefront of pushing for the implementation of labour rights for resort workers.

More than 200 employees began the strike on Friday, erecting and filling a marquee at 6.00am in what they have described as a peaceful protest.
