On Sunday, a note claiming that Harrods was mistreating its staff was placed in over 500 places in the London Harrods store.
In a post to Twitter by Lisa McKenzie, the details were outlined:
The message reads:
Harrods pinch 75% of their restaurant staff tips!!
Thw tips are intended for waiters, NOT the Qatari Royal family!
Stop stealing from your workers !!
It was numbered 12/500 and signed 'United Voices of the World' @UNnion.
The post follows the arrest of the head of the United Voices of the World Union (UVW) on Saturday night.
According the Politics.co.uk, the Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest of a 47 year old man on suspicion of criminal damage.
In addition a 29 year-old male, a 26 year-old female, and a 32 year-old man were arrested on suspicion of common assault.
The UVW is a union that claims to predominantly represent migrant workers.
On Sunday it was announced that the chefs of the Harrods restaurant had been awarded a pay rise.
The press release from UVW reiterated the claim made on the hidden notes, regarding service charge police.
Indy100 has contacted Harrod's corporate services for comment.
