London, UK. 27th January 2017. A woman hands out posters calling for justice for the cleaners at the lunchtime rally at the picket line on the Strand on the second day of their 2-day strike against Servest who employ them at King's College. King's disclaim any responsibility for the cleaners, who a paid below the London Living Wage and overworked, often expected to do the work of colleagues who are sick or on holiday in addition to their own. They have conditions of employment significantly worse than any staff directly employed by King's, getting only statutory sick pay and other benefits and are subjected to arbitrarty disciplinary measures. Servest has failed to keep promises made at ACAS and 98% of the Unison members voted for strike action. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
