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.
