London, UK. 22nd June 2017. A basket on a rope carries up supplies to the SOAS Justice for Workers campaign occupiers in the SOAS directorate on the first floor of the main SOAS building at the start of a rally outside the occupation. SOASJ4W were joined by striking UoL Security Workers and together briefly occupied the doorway area of the building. The occupation began after catering staff heard from employer EliorUK that the main building refectory was to close and workers there would be made redundant. SOASJ4W demand there should be no cuts, no closures and no redundancies and that all workers at SOAS should have fair contracts offering equal sick pay, holiday pay, with zero-hours contracts being replaced and outsourced workers brought in-house. They want proper consultation with staff and students over the refectory and catering services and for the agreement with Unison for catering staff pay to be implemented - some are now owed up to £4000 in unpaid wages. They call for a public apology by management to the workers involved and an undertaking there will be no legal or disciplinary action against students taking part in the occupation.
