Firstly, thank you everyone who has signed this petition so far and please continue to promote it in your networks. Secondly, in a last ditch attempt to encourage us to call off the protest tomorrow, Saturday 12th March, (https://www.facebook.com/events/984893508252657/), the cleaning company Britannia Services Group has offered us £7.50 per hour, only 30p above the soon to be minimum wage of £7.20 per hour. We have rejected this offer because it is a massive £1.90 below the real London Living Wage of £9.40 per hour. This means that working 8 hours a day over the course of a year we will earn £3, 952 less than we would were they to pay us the real living wage. This is simply unacceptable. Britannia has also tried to unlawfully discourage us from participating in the protest or joining the union and has warned us that we should not try and fight Philip Green. Well, we're not picking a fight with anyone. We're simply asking to be paid a wage we can live on. Lastly, Paul Forrest, the Group Employee Relations Manager of the Arcadia Group which owns Topshop, has written to my union United Voices of the World. He simply stated that despite paying poverty wages to all shop-floor staff Arcadia “values and appreciates us” and reminded us that we are “paid an hourly rate which is legally complaint.” Well, just because the law allows them to pay us poverty wages, doesn't make it right, it doesn't allow me to live a dignified a life, or stay out of debt just to cover basic costs. The protest will proceed as planned and the campaign will continue until we the cleaners and all Topshop's staff a get a real living wage. Please write to the press office and ask them to stop defending the indefensible and pay us a living wage. topshoppress@topshop.com
