In respect of stylistic issues, Hoque very much gives the impression that he wants to have his cake and eat it. His report comprises two principal elements in a clear state of tension. The first is an empirical study, the results treated with proper caution, that purports to lend support to his thesis as applied to a very small part of the hotel sector (some 230 larger hotels averaging 125 employees per unit compared to an industry `standard’ of 80 per cent of establishments employing fewer than 25 people). The second element is what we can only describe as a `nudge, nudge, wink, wink’ tendency encouraging the view that the results of his survey have wider application to the hospitality sector. Thus, we have the very determined statement cited above that casts doubt on ’1980s evidence’ topped off with a rather significant caveat concerning larger hotels . Indeed, this tendency can be counterpointed to the recent findings of the Workplace Employee Relations Survey (WERS) `Britain at work’ which suggests that the hotel and catering sector provided the worst employers in the UK.
