The Green Blob hasn't spent countless billions of dollars only to abandon the mission when the going gets tough. Expect the pushback after Reform's sweeping victories last week to be strong and venomous, says Ben Pile.

In the wake of the Supreme Court's landmark trans ruling, is a Gender Recognition Certificate worth anything at all? Not really, says Mark Ellse ? but our muddled politicians won't be in a rush to admit they messed up.

Given the choice between two weak tea bags, Australia elected a weak tea bag, says Rebekah Barnett. Liberal leader Peter Dutton even lost his seat, a reflection of his hopeless deficit in personality and policies.

Migrant restaurant workers protest at Supermacs fast food chain

category dublin | worker & community struggles and protests | news report author Tuesday March 30, 2010 13:14author by Paula Geraghtyauthor email mspgeraghty at yahoo dot ie Report this post to the editors

Supermacs, you're no good, treat you're workers like you should!

The Restaurant Workers Action Group, established by the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland, staged a protest on Monday, 15 March at 1:00pm at Supermacs on OConnell St. in Dublin. Supermacs is part of the Quick Service Food Alliance, an industry group mounting a legal challenge to the JLC (Joint Labour Committee) system which sets wages for the restaurant industry.

Although Supermacs saw its pre-tax profits quadruple last year, it is joining other restaurants in challenging wage protections for its workers. Restaurant owners and industry groups have been calling for the reduction of worker protections, including a €1 per hour cut in the national minimum wage; a weakening of the standards laid out in the JLC; and a challenge to the right of the JLC to determine working conditions.

Ms. ODonoghue continues, We are calling on the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mary Coughlan, TD, to take immediate action to defend the wages of the lowest-paid workers from further attacks and cuts.
