Gate Gourmet latest betrayal

T&G boss Woodley says dispute over and ends hardship[ payments- but it isn't

Yet again the T&G have stabbed the Gate Gourmet workers in the back, this time by cutting off their (pitiful) hardship fund payments. First they effectively imposed a sell-out agreement on the "strikers" that included certainly 144 compulsory redundancies and cuts in wages. Many did not sign the agreement and are still holding out. Now Woodley is trying to force them to "fuck off and die" by cutting off their Union hardship payments. Of course they can't claim benefits while they keep fighting. So "starving into submission" is the reality, not jargon.
Last Thursday they picketed Transport House to demand the
reinstatement of the hardship payment and that the Union start fighting for them.
I'm suggesting everyone should start emailing and phoning Transport House to support their demands.
