DHP Family- Respect your workers at Rock City & recognise Unite the Union!
Staff at the iconic Nottingham city music venue Rock City are fighting for union recognition.
These are young, low paid, precarious zero hour workers.
Despite this, they are brave and determined enough to campaign for a genuine collective voice in the workplace.
Not only do they want respect and dignity in the workplace, but they want to challenge poor health and safety, poor sexual harassment procedures and a bullying culture in the workplace.
So far, George Akins and DHP Family are refusing to engage in meaningful dialogue with Unite to enter recognition talks, or honour the collective nature of their grievances.
Let us be clear- DHP Family need to meet with us immediately to discuss formal recognition to ensure these workers get the dignity at work they deserve.

Why is this important?
Hospitality workers often get a raw deal at work.
Fear, intimidation and poor conditions plague the sector.
Bullying, sexual harassment and low pay should not be accepted practice.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Rock City workers have come together to demand their voice is heard.
They want Unite to represent them and meaningful negotiations to begin to resolve a number of their workplace concerns.
Rock City is a world famous and established venue.
It's only fair that the workforce are treated in a manner that befits Rock City's status.
