BRITAIN is facing a “low pay emergency,” striking workers from three separate disputes warned yesterday as they descended on bosses’ headquarters to demand a hearing.

Flying pickets mounted rowdy demonstrations across central London with striking hospital cleaners, British Airways and Bank of England staff rallying against poverty wages and pay freezes.

Outsourced cleaners and porters at four London hospitals are asking for a wage rise of 30p an hour, while support staff at the Bank of England are furious that pay has been frozen for the second year running.
