Ms Julia Marciniak:

I will briefly speak about inequality. Obviously, migrants are treated worse in the hospitality sector despite the fact that they are a huge percentage of the workforce. There is also gender discrimination. Twice as many males workers are in power positions in the sector despite the fact that it is dominated by females. The same happens in kitchens, especially for the higher-powered positions. The same applies for bartenders. I know from personal experience of working in a place that only Irish males were allowed to work behind the bar. Bartenders make twice as much as any person who works on the floor, so it is not only access to positions but access to better wages.
