A | Europe’s leading hotelier Accor - a French international hospitality business with billions in revenue and more than 5,100 hotels - is now beginning “trials” to hire people with no experience in the hotel industry, the company’s chief executive Sebastien Bazin said, as it struggles to fill at least 35,000 vacancies.,“We tried in Lyon and Bordeaux 10 days ago and this weekend we're having people interviewed with no CV, no previous job experience and they are hired within 24 hours," Bazin said.,Since underpaid workers left the company, Accor is now filling those positions with those who are desperate for work such as students and/or expats.,Those who are practically hired on the spot by the multi-billion dollar company are trained in only six hours and are forced to learn on the job. The company will also limit their contact with customers as they struggle with staffing.,"It's students, people coming from North Africa," Bazin said, "and basically closing restaurants for lunch or [opening them] only five days a week. There's no other solution.",Some hoteliers will have to increase pay to find the help they need this tourist season. Spain’s tourism sector supported 13.5 percent of their workforce in 2018 - before the pandemic - and accounted for 11.8 percent of their gross domestic product in 2017. But Spain’s catering industry is at present short some 200,000 workers, and Portugal is fighting to increase staff at their hotels to keep pace with increasing demand.,"Many employees have decided to move to other sectors, so we are starting an industry from scratch and we have to fight for talent," said Gabriel Escarrer, chief executive of Spanish hotel group Melia which, along with other hospitality businesses, is reportedly offering higher wages than previously, health insurance, and free accommodation - though that last perk could be more a reflection of the shortage of housing near resorts.,However, hoteliers such as Hotel Mundial - located in Lisbon, Portugal - are facing the far from ideal decision of cutting services if they can’t find staff, and those who employ students will have to juggle rotas to accommodate their schedules.,“During the week we can't open because we have no hands - they are studying,” said Jose Carlos, who owns a bar in Madrid called Tabanco de Jerez.,Spain's hospitality industry is now paying 60 percent more than it did last year, on average, in an attempt to lure workers back to the force - however, those working in the tourism industry are still among the lowest-paid workers.,"Half of it is we've been blind, we've been not paying attention to a lot of people and probably underpaying some people for too long as well," said Bazin, who is worried his company won’t have enough staff when the summer rush, which is the height of the tourist season - arrives. "So it's a wake-up call.",One of the best documented reasons for people leaving their job during 'The Great Resignation' was because they were being paid too little. Another reason was the lack of professional advancement within the industry.,Other reasons people quit in 2021 included: feeling disrespected, lack of flexibility in scheduling, and a lack of benefits such as healthcare and paid holiday, according to a Pew Research Center survey. That same survey found that those who quit their job were able to find new places of employment that offered them better pay and more opportunities.。 함께 기소된 공무원들 선고유예 최윤홍 전 부산시교육청 부교육감. 국제신문 DB지난해 4·2 부산시교육감 재선거를 앞두고 교육청 공무원을 선거 준비에 동원한 혐의로 재판에 넘겨진 최윤홍 전 부산시교육청 부교육감이 항소심에서도 피선거권 상실에 해당하는 형을 받았다.부산고법 형사2부(부장판사 박운삼)는 26일 지방교육자치에 관한 법률 위반 등 혐의로 기소된 최 전 부교육감에 대한 검찰과 피고인 측 항소를 모두 기각했다. 이에 따라 1심이 선고한 징역 10개월에 집행유예 2년이 유지됐다.항소심 재판부는 최 전 부교육감이 2심에서 범행을 인정한 점을 고려하면서도 형을 낮출 사정은 되지 않는다고 판단했다. 재판부는 최 전 부교육감이 교육감 후보 출마 직전까지 교육감 권한대행으로 근무한 점을 이용해 선거에 필요한 자료를 확보했다고 지적했다. 오랜 기간 교육공무원으로 근무해 정치적 중립 의무와 그 중요성을 잘 알면서도 자신의 선거상 이익을 위해 범행한 점도 불리한 사정으로 봤다. 최 전 부교육감은 지난해 3월 재선거를 앞두고 교육청 공무원에게 선거운동 기획과 실시에 관여하도록 한 혐의로 기소됐다. 재판부는 함께 기소된 공무원 2명에 대해서는 양형이 무겁다는 주장을 받아들였다. 이들에게 내려진 1심의 징역 6개월에 집행유예 2년을 파기하고 각각 징역 6개월의 선고를 유예했다. 선고유예 뒤 2년이 지나면 형 선고의 효력이 사실상 사라진다.。
