London, UK 29th September 2016. Cleaners, students and staff stand together with United Voices of the World posters at the end of the meeting which launched the campaign for parity of treatment for cleaners with other workers at the university. The cleaners, employed by contractors Noonan on a LSE contract, are paid the London Living Wage, but have only the statutory minimum holidays, sick pay and pension contributions, while workers directly employed by the LSE have more generous terms.

London, UK 29th September 2016. Cleaners, students and staff stand together with United Voices of the World posters at the end of the meeting which launched the campaign for parity of treatment for cleaners with other workers at the university. The cleaners, employed by contractors Noonan on a LSE contract, are paid the London Living Wage, but have only the statutory minimum holidays, sick pay and pension contributions, while workers directly employed by the LSE have more generous terms. They also complain they have lost rest facilities, are not allowed in the canteen with other workers, exposed to dangerous chemicals, not allowed to use lifts to move heavy equipment between floors and are generally treated like dirt. The meeting gave support from LSE students and staff for actions to improve conditions and fight the unfair redundancy of one cleaner sacked this week. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
