· A United Voices of the World (UVW) strike leader from the Saint James Tavern (SJT) bar in Brighton has been suspended on the eve of a historic strike by pub workers, in what UVW believes is an unacceptable example of trade union victimisation

· Bar staff at SJT, who are UVW members, will walk out of their jobs at 4:30pm on Saturday 25 June, with supporters holding a rally from 4pm

· The SJT workers are one of the only groups of pub workers to take strike action in recent years, and hope their fight will serve as an example for others in the industry to fight back against poor conditions and treatment, which are seen as ‘just part of the job’

· A solidarity bus with UVW members from London will be joining the SJT worker’s strike rally, as will local MP Lloyd Russell Moyle who will address it.

SJT pub bosses called bar supervisor Jake Marvin into a disciplinary hearing just days after the workers and their union United Voices of the World (UVW) sent notification of official strike dates.

Bar staff at the Saint James Tavern (SJT) in central Brighton will walk out of their jobs on Saturday 25 June at 4pm as they take strike action over low pay and working conditions. A second strike day will take place on 2 July, additional dates will be announced later.
