The Irish Congress of Trade Unions says exploitation is rife in the hospitality industry and that staff frequently do not receive the proper pay, breaks and holiday leave they are entitled to.

One third of all hospitality workers are not receiving in full the tips customers give them, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions has claimed.

“We know that staff have problems getting holidays, getting the correct payment of wages,” Fiona Dunne of the ICTU explained to“And significantly there’s a lot of other breaches like Sunday premiums, not getting access to holidays, not getting proper rest breaks and also we did a campaign about two years ago around tips where a third of employees stated that they weren’t getting their tips paid to them.

“We’d like to see how this will be inspected,” Adrian Cummins from the Restaurants’ Association of Ireland told“What is the regulatory regime around this and also we want to make sure we do the right thing as well if this becomes law.”
