Restaurant sector - Government urged to halt expoitation

A new report has found that many migrant workers in the restaurant industry are being exploited.

The study by the Migrant Rights Centre shows more than half earn less than the minimum wage and do not receive a pay slip.

According to the report, some workers earn just €2 an hour and work up to 75 hours a week.

Co-ordinator of the Restaurant Workers Action Group Bill Abom says the Government needs to take action to stop exploitation.
