Bromley Parking Wardens to stage march and strike demo

GMB members to take strike action today and tomorrow and march to Bromley town centre tomorrow

GMB union members working for APCOA Parking in Bromley have overwhelmingly rejected a last-ditch pay offer from their employer and will be striking today and tomorrow.

With an almost 100 per cent turnout, nearly 95 per cent of GMB members voted to reject the pay offer.

As a result, the planned 48-hour strike action will go ahead.

Craig Prickett, GMB Regional Organiser said:

“GMB members deliver an essential public service for Bromley but are being paid poverty wages by a hugely profitable, multinational company.

“The message from today’s ballot is crystal clear: this offer is nowhere near good enough.

“If APCOA will not pay these workers fairly, Bromley Council should be looking at taking this contract back in-house so the community gets the reliable, fairly-paid service it deserves.

“Our door remains open for when APCOA want to return to talks to table a sensible offer that would see our members properly paid for the jobs that they do.”
