Cala Millor Restaurant Shut After Authorities Report Labour Exploitation and Food-Safety Failures
A Cala Millor restaurant was closed after a joint inspection found irregular workers, 13-hour shifts, unsafe food handling and poor living conditions.
The joint inspection took place at about 1pm on 23 July, and the restaurant was closed immediately after the reported deficiencies were identified.
How many workers were found at the premises?
Inspectors found 15 workers. Three were reported to be in an irregular situation in Spain, while the other 12 were registered as working half-time.
The business was given 10 days to resolve the deficiencies so that it could potentially reopen. Any reopening process is separate from possible administrative sanctions.
Has a crime against workers’ rights been confirmed?
No. Spain’s National Police continued investigating whether the responsible parties may have committed such an offence.
What happened to the three workers in an irregular situation?
The Foreigners Group opened expulsion proceedings in relation to them, according to the reported police account.
