Hello, apologies if this is not in the correct forum.
My wife has returned home from her place of work in a distressed state. She works for a well know hotel in the Louth area.
This might sound absolutely crazy / far fetched and unbelievable but could someone please tell me what we can do to help out these people?
1) All FOREIGN employees in the hotel are having the sum of 40 euro docked from their weekly wages 'to cover food and lunches etc'. Some of them do not even eat in the hotel!!!. None have signed any sort of approval forms for this, none have agreed to it. One of the workers disputed it but was told that was the way it is and there was no debate about it. The other workers are too frightened to say anything.
It is only the Foreign workers who are being docked money, none of the Irish staff are!. Its absolutely incredible behaviour on the part of the owners. I'm absolutely speechless with anger about this.
I intend to phone someone on Monday about this but I am not sure who to contact? Could we get someone up to investigate this as a matter of urgency or is there no real course of action to take other then discuss it with the management of the hotel?
I look forward to any responses.
Many thanks
