Members of the Fiji Hotels and Allied Industries Employees Union were not consulted before their General Secretary, Daniel Urai went to have talks in Australia in relation to trade union sanctions.
The President of the Union has today called on the Australian and New Zealand unions to rethink the proposed trade union sanctions.
Peni Finau said at the end of the day, the families will be affected especially through the reduced hours of work available.
The Hotel Employees Union's General Secretary Daniel Urai was in Australia speaking to the Australian Council of Trade Unions and the Transport Workers Union.
He is back in the country and has refused to comment on the trade union sanctions.
Urai said the decision will be made by their counterparts in Australia.
Urai is also expected to speak to the union sometime this week on his presentation in Australia.
When questioned on whether he consulted with the union members before leaving for Australia, he said he had spoken to the board executives.
