Sharanjeet Kaur, a chef and mother of two, was sexually harassed and endured significant labor exploitation while working at Bombay House restaurant in Dublin. Despite working long hours for minimal pay, she was awarded compensation following a Workplace Relations Commission hearing. The restaurant's owner, Bhappa Singh, did not respond to media inquiries after the case, which led to public backlash ultimately resulting in the restaurant's permanent closure. The Migrants Rights Centre Ireland highlighted a rising trend of labor exploitation, advocating for better protections for workers on employment permits in response to increasing cases.
Sharanjeet Kaur faced severe labor exploitation and harassment while working for â¬200 a week with minimal breaks, leading to her receiving a compensation award after the case.
Ms Kaur was left traumatized by her experience at Bombay House, with her case highlighting the severe labor exploitation faced by many workers on employment permits.
The increase in cases of labor exploitation, as noted by the Migrants Rights Centre, underscores the urgent need for improved protections for vulnerable workers.
The closure of Bombay House and the subsequent liquidation reflect not only the fallout from Ms Kaur's case but also a troubling trend of companies avoiding compensation.
