Protestors set to fight poverty pay at booming Liverpool Adelphi Hotel


This Saturday 25 February, from 10:00 to 12:00 protestors will be gathering outside the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool, and again on Tuesday 7 March from 11:30 outside Britannia Group Headquarters in Cheshire.

The protestors will be calling on Adelphi to end poverty pay at Liverpool's landmark hotel. Despite Adelphi profits rising by 40% to £1.14m - helping owners Britannia to double its group profits and hand out a huge £35m dividend - the company remains a minimum-wage employer and refuses to discuss paying the Living Wage Foundation rate of £8.45.

As profits have risen, the hotel has added to staff anger by blanking RMT's call to end zero-hours contracts, cutting room-cleaning times by 20%, reducing staffing levels and even denying its workers free use of the hotel car-park.
