THIS May, Friday the 13th was bad luck for Mitie as, against the odds, domestics and hostesses in St George’s hospital secured a mandate for industrial action. The workers will be taking their first 24 hours of strike action on May 30, which will include a lunchtime march of strikers right through the heart of Tooting.
The strike ballot was triggered by outsourcing giant Mitie withholding wages. This created a nightmare for our members who found themselves unable to afford public transport costs to get to work. They are demanding modest compensation to enable them to pay rent and feed their families.
As Mitie held back the wages of hourly paid workers across the country the company publicly announced the acquisition of telecoms company 8point8 for £10 million.
