The trade union Unite claims that London is the most unethical tourist destination on the planet because its hotel workers are being exploited with low pay and “shameful” employment practices. Chefs and other hotel staff are allegedly causing accidents because they are tired and don’t have enough time to take breaks.
Peter Kavanagh, Unite’s London region secretary, said, “Low pay, zero-hour contracts and open hostility to trade unions have become standard practice, making London one of the most unethical tourist destinations in the world.”
