Nepal: a trade union history of the 10% service charge campaign

In 2007 a 10% service charge was introduced into hotels and restaurants in Nepal. The service charge was the result of a concerted campaign by trade unions in Nepal to bring about a fairer share of the wealth generated by tourism. This video tells the story and impact of the campaign. The video includes interviews with workers and trade union officers from Nepal's hotels and restaurants, including IUF's two hotel and restaurant union affiliates: the Nepal Tourism and Hotel Workers Union and the Nepal Independent Hotel Workers Union.
