Wednesday, 27 June 2007 |
Members of Unite - the union at Haggerston School - are to strike on Wednesday June 27 in a bid to increase their pay above the national minimum wage.
The kitchen staff - employed by contractors Sodexho -
are paid nearly £4 an hour less than other similar
staff across the Borough.
"We have done everything we could to avoid a strike,"
said Unite T&G Section regional industrial organiser
Paul Fawcett. "We have been delaying implementation of
the strike decision by our members in the hope that
Sodexho would see sense and pay our members a fair
wage. We suggested staging an increase.
"But it has all been a waste of time, unfortunately.
The company is behaving like dinosaurs from the least
enlightened period of British management, with
absolutely no interest in justice or social
responsibility."
