Three days of action include Boxing Day sales but union says no option as management ‘refuses to engage’

Harrods workers from cleaners to shop floor and restaurant staff are set to strike in Christmas week, including during the upmarket department store’s key Boxing Day sales, in a row over pay and perks.

The United Voice of the World (UVW) independent union said 95% of its members at the Knightsbridge store had voted in favour of the strikes on 21, 22 and 26 December.

Cancer patient fears dying without justice as tribunal date repeatedly delayed

IT technician Joe Mezgebe arrived at unfair dismissal hearing to find no judge available – for the second time

A disabled man with prostate cancer has had his employment tribunal for unfair dismissal postponed the day before it was due to take place because a judge was not available – 13 months after exactly the same thing happened.

Joe Mezgebe, an IT technician, who first presented his claim against Christ’s College, Finchley academy in June 2021, has lost £15,300 in fees to his barrister as a result of the cancellations, and fears he may not live to see justice done.
