Over 300 employees from the luxury British department store Harrods have announced plans to strike before Christmas and during the Boxing Day holiday, demanding better wages and working conditions. The strike is backed by the United Voices of the World union, citing the management’s refusal to engage in negotiations. The action is set to take place during peak shopping times, coinciding with allegations against former owner Mohamed Al Fayed regarding sexual misconduct. Employees express frustration over low pay and lack of basic benefits, calling for fair treatment from one of the world’s leading luxury retailers.
