KEN LOACH, to personally present his film:

“BREAD AND ROSES” on immigrant worker’s rights, trade unionism and victimisation. Darwin LT, UCL enter Malet Place, WC1.

Many of the cleaning catering and security staff at UCL live precarious lives. Underpaid and on zero hour contracts on the one hand, and victimised for being active in a trade union on the other.

Juan Carlos Piedra was one such cleaner. He lost his job in 2009 after Office and General, UCL’s outsourced cleaning company of choice, told him there was no work from him after it became clear that he wouldn’t back down in the face bullying for being an active unionist.

World-renowned film maker KEN LOACH, a pioneer of the social realism genre, will be kindly taking an evening out from editing his new film to come to UCL to personally present his film “BREAD AND ROSES”, an exploration into the right of immigrant workers and their struggle for justice. We will hear from as well as a personal account from Juan Carlos, All are welcome!
