BRITAIN 6 issues 12 issues 24 issues 200 GMWU members at the London Metropole Hotel near Marble Arch began indefinite strike action on 10 October in support of a claim for a £50 minimum wage.
Some of the strikers-mainly porters, waiters and chambermaids -earn as little as £30 and the chambermaids who "live in" receive only £9 of this.
Talks broke down last Saturday when management invoked the 12 month rule, claiming that the workers had received their last increase only last March.
Messages of support and financial contributions should be sent to Mr. A. Gager, 76, Hatherly Road, Walthamstow, London E17.
