This company will have unpaid staff, subsidised by the State, working there and then will be paid by the State. Those workers will be responsible for preparing and serving food, and washing dishes and the company will not pay a single cent. Again, the workers will just get €3.43 per hour in a welfare top-up from the State. This is not just happening in our hospitals. I could name a whole bunch of other companies but I do not have time. This particular company has a turnover of €13 billion and can afford to pay its staff a wage.
