Today, Polish group of Independent Workers Union picketed "Gospoda Polska" restaurant in Chapel Street, Dublin for several hours.

Background:

Martha came to Dublin to earn money for another year of her studies. She found a job in GOSPODA POLSKA (POLISH INN) in Capel Street. After 10 hours of work as a kitchen porter she was told that it was a mock day and the company will not pay for it. The manager told Martha that she would give her a call to let her know whether they are going to keep her or not in the restaurant. Finally, she received no respond from them.

After a couple of days, Martha asked for her remuneration, and amazingly it turned out, that the manager could not recall who Martha actually was. Then she asked Independent Workers Union for help. Despite a union representative intervened, the management of POLISH RESTAURANT still does not notice anything wrong about their activity and refuses to pay for work.

Martha is not the only person treated like that. POLISH RESTAURANT deliberately cuts its costs, and pays nothing to naive young people who do not know Irish Labour Law and cannot defend theirselves.

In effect of the action, the pay will be paid till next Thursday.
