WORKERS at some of London’s major attractions are set to strike over plummeting take-home pay, GMB announced today.
Staff at various locations, including Tower Bridge, the Barbican and the Old Bailey, have rejected a one-off payment from bosses and demanded a consolidated wage boost, according to the union.
The employees, who also service the Port Health Authority and Hampstead Heath, are all employed by wealthy municipal governing body the City of London Corporation.
