WORKERS at a Papa John’s pizza franchise in Sheffield have claimed victory after they picketed to reclaim two months’ back-pay at the weekend.
The former franchisee of the Ecclesall Road branch shut up shop and disappeared without notice in June, leaving the workers locked out and owed money. Some faced being unable to pay essential bills, including for rent and food.
The Bakers, Food and Allied Workers’ Union (BFAWU) members mounted a protest outside the restaurant, which has been taken over by a new franchisee, on Saturday.
