MCDONALD’S workers have said they will “stand together and win” as a strike of low-paid employees tomorrow will disrupt business at the corporation.
Employees in six of the global food chain’s London branches, who are members of the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers’ Union (BFAWU), will be manning picket lines across the city on Tuesday.
The strike is expected to close the Balham, Catford, Crayford, Deptford, Downham and Wandsworth Town branches of the corporation, while huge numbers of community pickets are expected to pop up in solidarity across the city.
The election offers a critical chance to shape the future of pay, care and community provision in Wales, says Unison’s JESS TURNER
