Justice 4 All Cleaners-What next?







Campaign planning meeting-all welcome

*Solidarity with Cleaners * For a Living Wage * Against Deportations

In June SOAS Justice 4Cleaners campaign won the fight for a London Living wage (LLW) for all its cleaners, reflecting similar victories at LSE and Queen Marys. Last weeks planned Tubelines strikes were called off at the 11th hour after successful negotiations demanding the LLW. With Britain on the brink of a recession we see strikes planned across the country and the return of militant campaigning.

Yet massive injustices persist. How do we stop the intimidation tactics that threaten deportation to activist migrant workers? How do we stop the isolation of cleaners in institutions such as universities? How do our various campaigns come together to secure fair pay and working conditions for ALL cleaners in London?

This meeting offers a forum to answer these questions and plan practical action to continue the struggle.

Speakers:
Philip Mambuliya - Chair, RMT cleaners grades, London Underground

Mohammed YellowRMT cleaner, Eurostar

Consuelo Moreno - SOAS Unison steward

Support the cleaners' demands for:

  • Bank holiday and sick pay

  • A Living wage of £7.45, promised by Boris Johnson to SOME cleaners, to be extended to ALL.

  • An end to reduction in service hours

  • and an end to racist immigration policies which are used to intimidate & victimise cleaners


Hosted by SOAS SU with support from RMT cleaners campaign, SOAS UNISON, SOAS UCU and the SOAS Detainee Support Group .
