TEACHERS of English have bombarded a language school’s social-media accounts with demands to pay staff laid off following the coronavirus lockdown. 

The Tefl Workers’ Union has called on its members and supporters to “say no to wage theft” by taking part in a week of online protests against Language House London. 

The school closed on March 20 and has yet to pay its sacked staff their last month’s wages, according to staff and the union.
