Mandate launches bar workers survey
Mandate Trade Union has this week launched a survey of all workers in the bar industry. The union wants to hear from members and non-members about their living standards and conditions of employment.
Commenting on the survey, Jonathan Hogan, Industrial Officer for Mandate said, “We know that many workers in the industry have suffered cuts to their terms and conditions of employment. This includes pay cuts, cuts to hours and cuts to other entitlements.
“Employers and their representatives have attacked JLC’s and other legislation that provides decent employment for bar workers.
“The only way to resist these attacks is by joining Mandate and campaigning for protection of existing terms and seeking to improve on them,” he said.
“This survey, which only takes 10 minutes, will help us understand what is happening in the industry and how we can improve the working lives of our members.”
