A reason to support next week's walkout as illustrated by woman in a pub
This week the South London Solidarity Federation won a seemingly small, but very important fight against an employer who had robbed a worker of their wages.
The employee was owed more than £700 by the manager of a pub in which she worked – work for which she had not been paid for six weeks. When she refused to turn up, she was sacked.
The manager of the pub apparently spent some time trying to fob the employee off with excuses, before simply refusing to answer phone calls or emails. In response, SolFed called for a picket of the pub.
