“Allocation of MIQ spaces for migrant workers,” could be one of the fixes for staff shortage says Restaurant Association chief Wednesday, July 14, 2021 IWK Bureau Restaurant Association of New Zealand’s Chief Executive Officer Marisa Bidois is proposing to the government that allocation of some MIQ spaces for migrant workers for the hospitality industry could be one possible solution to address the burgeoning crisis in front of the industry. Bidois spoke with the Indian Weekender about the staff-shortage issue, the government’s response, and suggestions in some quarters that the industry was not treating its workers, particularly migrant workers, in a kind and compassionate manner, therefore further triggering the exodus of workers from the industry.
