Fighting for the local economy

THE Almeria Hospitality Workers Association (Ashal) has complained about the requests to limit their opening times and to forbid terraces to certain establishments. They also claim they are having serious problems renewing their opening licences this year.

This association has organised an assembly on February 22 in order to analyse the situation and take measures to defend their business activity. They asked Almeria City Council to become involved in these issues so they all can find the best solution. 

According to the workers, maintaining the current opening times and terraces means a minimum of 500 jobs which help to create activity in a city that needs the hospitality sector to survive.
