HUNDREDS of Harrods workers are balloting for strike action over Christmas, United Voices of the World (UVW) announced today.
The luxury London department store’s retail, restaurant, kitchen and cleaning departments face the “strong possibility” of a walkout starting on December 19, the union said.
The departments’ workers are calling for their demands for fair pay and working conditions to be addressed after Harrods handed out £180 million in bonuses to its owners and awarding a £2.1m salary to its managing director.
