The Made cafe in the new 5PS has significantly reduced its prices following a petition by Camden Unison reps.
Of all the comments made by our members about the new building at 5 Pancras Square the exorbitant cost of the café came top. The new caterer – Amadeus – charging over £5 for a sandwich really infuriated people. So much so that when Unison stewards petitioned the building on 31st July over 170 people signed in about an hour.
We are pleased that senior management, including Mike Cooke who stopped to talk to us, agreed that the prices are too high. The caterer has now lowered the prices and given a further 20% discount for Camden staff which is a good step forward but we would still like to hear from Unison members if this reduction is good enough.
Unison stewards at 5PS meet regularly and will take issues up when we need to so please do give us feedback and tell us the issues that concern you.
