LETTER: Manager accused of inappropriate conduct suspended, resumes duties

Concerns are growing among hospitality workers in Antigua and Barbuda after a non-national manager at a five-star hotel, who was reportedly accused of sexual harassment, returned to work following a brief two-week suspension.

Many employees view this as nothing more than a “slap on the wrist” for a very serious allegation. Incidents like this raise troubling questions about whether hotel workers are truly protected when misconduct occurs, especially when the accused holds a senior management position.

Tourism is the backbone of Antigua and Barbuda’s economy, but maintaining world-class standards should also mean ensuring safe and respectful workplaces for employees.

When situations like this appear to have minimal consequences, it sends a worrying message to staff who may already feel afraid to speak up.
