- Housekeepers at Radisson Blu Canary Wharf and bar staff from Draughts, a London board games café, are set to strike this week.
- This marks the first hotel workers' strike in England in 46 years, with the United Voices of the World (UVW) union calling it a “defining moment for the UK labour movement”.
- Radisson Blu housekeepers, outsourced by WGC, are striking over pay below the London Living Wage, reduced contracted hours, and increased daily room quotas.
- Draughts bar staff are protesting exploitative conditions, including zero-hour contracts, last-minute shift cancellations, and reduced earnings due to QR code ordering.
- Workers at both establishments voted unanimously for strike action, demanding improved pay, guaranteed hours, and an end to insecure working conditions.
