Yoox Net-a-Porter hit with Christmas strike over pay row

By Nithya Bose in UK Employment news, posted October 24, 2023

Yoox Net-a-Porter employees at the Charlton depot will carry out a Christmas strike over a pay dispute.

Trade union GMB announced a 22-day action which would affect hundreds of staff and potentially disrupt online purchases in the lead-up to the holidays.

Employees are unsatisfied with current proposals that would leave them without a pay increase for the first six months of the financial year.

The trade union’s regional organiser said: “Net-a-Porter is a luxury brand that sells high-end fashion for large sums of money.

“None of their operations would be possible though without our members working hard to ensure these online purchases get to their destinations on time”.

He continued: “Given how much money the company makes, it’s only fair that a few crumbs from the table get sent to the people generating this income.

“If Yoox Net-a-Porter don’t want their operations halted at what is undoubtedly their busiest time of year, GMB are prepared to meet at any time to discuss a decent pay rise for our members”.
