The workers sacked this month by Gate Gourmet have called for solidarity protests this Friday 2nd Sepetember against Blue Arrow, the agency supplying temps to Gate Gourmet. (

These temps are effectively being used as strike breakers, no doubt against their better judgement. Blue Arrow are being targetted in support of the temp workers they're exploiting and as a protest against their involvement in Gate Gourmet's anti union activities. Please spread this as widely as possible, and come along if you can - even ten minutes during your lunch hour would be much appreciated.
