"300+ staff losing their jobs within Tate Retail. Apparently we’re not really part of @Tate. What a kick in the teeth for all us who work hard to bring in the money to support Tate’s ongoing artistic programme."
Thats why we protesting this morning #CultureInCrisis #SaveTateJobs

So not only are we stressed, we are too busy to keep an eye on the customers, complete cleaning tasks, and are unable to sufficiently distance from eachother. Things are not going back to normal for us, its getting worse. #Wetherspoons

This is just one of the many gaping holes in the Chancellor's announcement.
With the incentives for people to go to Spoons and boost profits, staff will be working harder and have not been given a real living wage or SSP. @SpoonStrike
With Rishi’s announcement for 5% VAT in hospitality and #eatouttohelpout comes a wave of disappointment.
Wetherspoons stands to make quite a profit from this - the least that we ask is that profit is passed down to the staff in the form of a living wage and full sick pay.

I worked for the company for 4 years and the disregard for its workers would be comical if it wasn’t so depressing

Low wage workers are facing the worst of this crisis.

I interviewed a bartender and trade unionist about what it was like working in a pub last Saturday, how you can be a better customer, and whether you should boycott Spoons vice.com/en_uk/article/y3zbb…

The fact that the staff at Weatherspoons are having to ask people to sign a petition for there basic health and safety, & money they are owed is fucking abysmal. The owner is a BILLIONAIRE! To provide everything on this list would be like me or you forking out a few hundred quid!

Pub workers in Sheffield came together today as a union and won increased staffing numbers for Saturday 🔥🙌
As police prepare for New Years Eve level crowds, health and safety is a huge concern. DM us if you ever feel unsafe at work.

Thousands of Wetherspoon's staff will suffer before Tim Martin does if people boycott the chain, its unionised workers told @ChrisDYork. @SpoonStrike

It’s Saturday night, let’s talk about pubs and why we support Trade Unions - and let Tim Martin of Wetherspoons know what we think of him, sign here : megaphone.org.uk/petitions/t… via @SpoonStrike @IanBFAWU @BFAWUyouth

Boycotting hurts the workers MUCH more than the rich higher ups. Support workers in other ways like idk treating them with respect in the pub?? (And following COVID measures!!!!)

If you really want to support the employees @ Weatherspoons who are fighting for better terms under Tim Martin; Sign the petition, stand with them & add your voice with theirs so that Martin will hear!
And when you’ve done that, go ahead and sign our petition demanding that the company listen to our demands to make the workplace Covid safe 👉 megaphone.org.uk/petitions/t…

If people want to boycott Wetherspoons for other reasons, like Tim Martin's rightwing views, that's obviously their call. If they're doing it on the basis of workers' rights, then that's violating the wishes of the unionised workers and presuming to know better than them.
SpoonStrike retweeted
There's a lot of talk about boycotting Wetherspoons online. Their workers are specifically asking us NOT to do that. We should take their lead on this: don't call for a boycott in their name.
SpoonStrike retweeted
Mark, they weren't fired and they're not asking for a boycott: this isn't standing by their workers. teapawt.net/SpoonStrike/status/127…
SpoonStrike retweeted
Seeing a lot on social media about swerving Wetherspoons, some workers don’t have a choice but to go back, so let’s support them in their demands before they do & show Tim Martin what a strong unionised workforce with public support can achieve #Spoons

🚨CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK 🚨
Workers are not being protected by employers or the government.
So we have to protect each other. If you are concerned about health and safety at work, or are aware of a workplace coronavirus outbreak, get in touch with us.
