A CAMPAIGN launched today to win a “new deal” for hospitality workers aims to put an end to zero-hours contracts in the industry. 

Hundreds of workers joined an on-line session organised by Unite Hospitality to co-ordinate plans to win better and safer conditions in hotels, bars and restaurants during – and after – the coronavirus pandemic.

As well as demanding measures to ensure safety in the immediate crisis, the union also set out its demands for minimum hours contracts, paid trial shifts and rest breaks and a real living wage for hospitality workers across Britain and Ireland.
