Public Demonstration at Irish Restaurant Awards Ceremony Wed 25 May

Restaurant and Catering Workers Forum

Wednesday 25th May, 6pm
outside Burlington Hotel, Upper Leeson Street, Dublin 4

Members of the Restaurant and Catering Workers Forum are holding a public demonstration at the Annual Irish Restaurant Awards, hosted by the Restaurant Association of Ireland, to call on the Association to stop its attack on workers' minimum wages and conditions.

The Restaurant Association of Ireland has continued to call for abolishment of the Catering Employment Regulation Order (ERO) and a reduction in minimum wages for workers. EROS exist to ensure minimum standards and conditions for low-paid workers in difficult sectors of employment, and we believe they must be protected.

On behalf of the Forum we are asking workers, allies, organisations and those who are committed to supporting low-paid workers in Ireland to join us at the action outside the Burlington Hotel at 6pm Wednesday 25 May.

We hope to see you there!
