PIZZA EXPRESS WORKERS NEED YOUR HELP

Below is a message from Unite Hospitality. Their members at Pizza Express are facing a huge cut in hours, but they're fighting back. If they can win, it will show hospitality workers everywhere that by coming together in their union, they can improve their industry.

,Pizza Express are proposing the mass roll-out of a 'labour management scheme' which would effectively remove non-salaried managers from the rota for lunchtime shifts.This may see thousands of waiters lose hundreds of hours without proper consultation and managers having to do even more work for the same wage!The impact this will have on the most financially insecure part-time workers who need these lunchtime hours to fit around school and childcare is catastrophic.In less than 24 hours the backlash from all levels of the workforce has been so acute that the CEO Paula MacKenzie was forced to call an emergency meeting with all General Managers yesterday

As we did on fair tips, we shall be organising our members across the company to force the abandonment of this awful policy proposal.But we need your help!

Pizza Express may not care about their workforce but they certainly care about the future custom of the general public. If you believe that Pizza Express should abandon attempts to cut lunchtime hours, please sign, share and make your voice heard

Exploitative bosses, insecure work, blatant disrespect - hospitality workers across the country are facing the same problems everywhere you go

Signing our petition helps us grow the campaign, and shows other hospitality workers that through a union they have a better chance at standing up for their rights and making a difference.Together, we can ensure that workers are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.
