London, UK. 27th September 2017. A security man tells Independent Workers Union of Great Britain President Henry Chango Lopez that the protesters must leave the lobby of Birkbeck College where they are holding a noisy protest. The workers include security staff who have not received the increases in salary promised to maintain differentials since 2011. The noisy protest at the university with other precarious workers came after marching from an early morning 'End Precarious Labour!' rally at Transport for London on the day that Uber's appeal against the ruling that their drivers are workers is being heard. The protesters demand the university takes acknowledges and takes back responsibility for all those who work on campus, by employing them directly and providing proper sick pay, holiday pay and pensions. As well as paying low wages and giving minimal benefits, outsourcing contractors are often very slow to pay, often causing considerable hardship for these low paid workers.
