"Pay Koi Sushi what you owe" fight for a Pamplona worker
  • The Red de Trabajadores de Autodefensas (Self-Defense Network of Workers) denounces that the Koi Sushi restaurant in Pamplona wants to dismiss him after a worker denounces various injustices. Demonstrations are taking place in front of the restaurant and it is announced that on Saturday there will be a concentration again.

Calling for an improvement in the working conditions of a worker and the payment of the money owed to him, the protest began on 12 June: the reported injustices have been the extra hours unpaid, the contractual irregularities, the lack of possibility of rest and the denial of holidays. With the posters “Koi Sushi: pay what you owe” they have made several concentrations in front of the restaurant.

After proposing to the company to change the contractual irregularities, they denounce that they have taken measures against the worker, forcing him to perform tasks that did not correspond to him. “Finally, they verbally dismiss the worker, but they do not want him to sign this dismissal as a threat, since the purpose of these is to make him sign a contract that involves fewer hours than those worked.”

Together with the Self-Defense Network, the worker himself calls for continued protest until he is paid what he owes him while thanking him for his support. In fact, the concentration has been called for Saturday at 21:00 in the García Castañón street.

The Pamplona Labour Self-Defence Network was launched in November 2016. On the occasion of the mobilizations held on April 30 of that year and the Youth Power Building held in June, until they decided to organize it. The solidarity networks of the city of Seattle have been taken as an example as a tool to combat the exploitation of precarious workers.
