Sushi chain Letz Sushi, with 11 restaurants in Copenhagen and the surrounding area, has been fined 350,000 kroner for 16 counts of using illegal labour between December 2010 and February 2013. Trade union 3F revealed that in 14 of the cases, young Chinese employees on student visas exceeded the 15-hour-per-week limit that their visas allowed, often working 12-hour shifts several times a week.
