UNISON members at the Greater London Authority (GLA) will be inviting the public to chuck feed at a chicken man representing Boris Johnson during a protest over job cuts on Tuesday (21 July).
The GLA staff are clucking mad after the mayor described his £250,000 salary for his second job as a Daily Telegraph columnist as Òchicken feedÓ.
Currently 120 staff are being threatened with redundancy, despite warnings from workers that downsizing City Hall would mean downsizing life for Londoners.
More than 350 UNISON members at the GLA were balloted, as part of the fight against job cuts, and 75 per cent voted in favour of industrial action.
TuesdayÕs protest will kick off a series of events leading up to a rally in October.
Regional Officer, Shirley Mills, said:
ÒBoris Ôtwo jobsÕ Johnson described his £250,000 second job as Òchicken feedÓ, while slashing jobs of low-paid workers.
ÒLeo Boland, the GLA Chief Executive, is also earning over £205,000, £10,000 more than the Prime Minister.
ÒIt is disgusting that these two wallow in their huge wages while low paid staff face the axe.
ÒWe will be chucking feed at the penned up chicken man during the protest to show our disgust.Ó
GLA staff and others will take place in the UNISON protest at 12.20pm on Tuesday (21 July) at Potters Field, next to City Hall, The Queens Walk, SE1 2AA.
