Unite TGI Fridays demand Fair Tips & Fair Pay

Dept of Business etc, London. Tue 12 Jun 2018



 

 Unite protest outside the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Stategy

 TGI Fridays steals from the tips for the waiting staff.

 Two years ago, then Business Secretary Sajid Javid promised to take action over this abuse - but nothing has been done

 Unite Restaurant, Catering and Bar Workers Branch came with Unite Community to deliver a letter to his

 replacement as business secretary Greg Clark to remind him of the need for action

 

 

 and they brought a giant beefburger with them

 As well as strikers from TGI Fridays and union officials

 there were also people from Unite Community supporting the action

 

 

 

 A better view of the beefburger

 

 The name of the ministry gets longer every time I cover a protest here

 Beefburger and banners

 

 

 After half an hour or so of a noisy protest which might have drawn the minister's attention

 

 a small group went to hand in letters, which were taken by staff at the door who promised they would be delivered

 and shook hands with the campaigners

 

 The protest outside continued for a few minutes

 

 

 

I had to leave the protesters who were going on to protest outside a branch of TGI Fridays
