The union held its first action on New Year’s Eve, when it claimed about 350 workers went on strike. The company said it was just 73. The strike affected Grosvenor’s four top London casinos: Victoria Casino on Edgware Road, Connoisseur in Kensington Gardens, London Park Tower in Knightsbridge, and Gloucester Sporting Club in Harrington Gardens.
