Union slams Savoy over jobs
THE Savoy Hotel has been criticised for the “shoddy” treatment of “loyal” workers following its closure for refurbishment.
The GMB general workers’ union said the hotel’s decision to make long-term staff reapply for their jobs after the 16-month closure was unfair and disrespectful.
Nearly 500 staff, some of whom had been employed for 30 years, lost their jobs.
Kiaran McDonald, the hotel’s general manager, said the length of closure meant staff would have to be reassessed.
Raj Gill, branch secretary of the GMB general union for hotels and catering, said: “It’s a top-brand hotel; they should be treating their workers with a bit more respect.” |
