British Gas workers outside the headquarters of Centrica in Windsor, Berkshire
THE privately owned corporation British Gas is pressing ahead with a scandalous scheme to sack its gas engineers who have put up a sustained resistance to a forced 15 per cent pay cut and radical changes to their terms and conditions.
Last month these engineers were given a noon deadline to sign up to new conditions or face sacking.
The reaction of the workers and their union GMB was to take strike action, and the workers have engaged in an eyecatching and innovative propaganda campaign that puts the pressure on the company boss now nicknamed “No Way O’Shea.”
