Youngsters lured to Magaluf holiday jobs 'face violence, assault and squalor'
SHIVERING from head to toe, podium dancer Coral Atkin tries to find warmth under the bar’s outside heater.The SunIt’s 1pm and for Coral the night is just beginning in theHer job is to entice punters into her bar with cheap thrills and get them wasted on booze.Desperate to pass gruelling job trials, the 20-year-old tells how she’s faced violence and sexual assaults on shifts.
As a result, every night the deafening music along the strip is drowned out by boozed-up revellers entangled in brawls.They had been enjoying a free bar at the workers’ opening party at Carwash.InstagramAnd as I walk up and down the strip, I meet more first-year workers with horrifying experiences. She says: “I hated it. I was working as a PR, trying to get punters into the bar by offering cheap drink deals. The manager wanted me to get in their faces and stop them walking past.
Her friend Shanell, who also came out with Select agency, adds: “After 13 hours on my feet I take home just 40 euros in cash. I just want to go home to somewhere secure and safe, but my apartment isn’t fit for a dog.” “It’s badly designed as you need a key to open the front door from the inside. My mates had gone out and had taken it. We weren’t given enough keys for all five of us.
He also tells me how male touts and PRs are told by some bar bosses to grope female tourists to get them into venues: “It’s disgusting. We are not going to assault girls to get them in for a drink.
