Waiter wins lawsuit against Buenos Aires restaurant

Buenos Aires, November 28 (NA) -- A.L., the waiter who won a multi-million dollar labor lawsuit against the restaurant Piegari and secured a 200 million peso penalty, maintained a photo album on his social media that proudly reflected his 26 years of work in the dining room. The personal gallery shows the employee alongside a long list of celebrities who were regulars at the establishment. According to information from the Argentine News Agency (NA), the images serve as a testament to his long tenure at the restaurant (from 1994 to 2020) and the dignity with which he performed his duties until the labor conflict arose. Among the famous figures who posed for photos with the waiter are prominent names from sports, music, and entertainment: Enzo Francescoli (former footballer and River Plate icon), Mona Jiménez (the Córdovan singer), Marcelo Tinelli and Paula Robles (host and former couple), César Luis Menotti (former World Cup-winning coach), Graciela Alfano (actress and model), and Mariano Martínez (actor). The photo album is a mirror of the worker's life, who, after years of proudly serving the country's highest figures, ultimately filed a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal due to unpaid wages and improper employment registration.
