I've been seeing some of the chicas who worked at Exedra. Last night I had one over, and we started talking about Exedra. She told me that the waiters have not been paid. By law in Argentina, they have to get a payment based on how long they worked at Exedra. Some of the waiters have worked there close to 20 years, so it's a few years pay.

She said that the son of the owner who died, owed allot of money, and took the money from the sale, to pay it off. The waiters are going to take the place to court, unless they get their money, which would delay it's re-opening. She also said she has not seen any renovations being done, it looks the same. I have not been there since they closed, so I have no idea.

[QUOTE=Sidney]La Mad. Has already increased their prices![/QUOTE]They were too expensive when I went there last month. Even more is ridiculous.

[QUOTE=Tessan]What's the address of La Mad, do not see it listed on the forum page.[/QUOTE]It is a cafe on the corner of Cordoba and Carlos Pelligrini. Opposite what used to be Cafe Exedra.

[QUOTE=Tessan]By law in Argentina, they have to get a payment based on how long they worked at Exedra.

So with an employee who has been working for 20 years, you are looking at about 23-24 months in severance pay. The workers will get the money eventually. It just seems like the owner is an asshole and an idiot.

He'll end up paying the workers in monthly instalments where he'll "forget" to pay every two or three months and the worker has to get a court order "reminding" him to pay or even worse, he'll file for bankruptcy and never pay anything again. (opening his next business in his wife's name etc)

I said this would happen some months ago.

These labor laws protect the Argentine workers. It's why Argentina is one of the world's great economic powerhouses. Viva Perón!

And then they said it sounded alot more like France.
