British Gas Strike Outside Brunel Retail Park British Gas employees in Reading have slammed the company for its plans to ‘fire and rehire’ staff on new terms and conditions. Half a dozen British Gas employees in Reading took to the picket line on Friday (Friday, February 5) by Brunel Retail Park in south Reading to protest plans to ‘fire and rehire’ staff and put them under new working conditions. The new terms and conditions would include longer working hours, reduced sick pay, reduced overtime rates, and less holiday. British Gas owner Centrica announced it would be cutting 5,000 jobs in June to “arrest the decline” of the company after losing out to rivals.
