Migrant workers strike against being treated like dirt

MIGRANT workers at a luxury club owned by a prominent supporter of Prime Minister Boris Johnson unanimously voted for strike action today after being treated like “dirt.”

Kitchen porters, organised by the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB), at the 5 Hertford Street private members’ club in London will now discuss a possible strike for the London Living Wage and occupational sick pay.

The club has been dubbed “Brexit HQ” because of its owner, millionaire Brexiteer Robin Birley, is a known bankroller of Mr Johnson.
