London, UK. 25th January 2018. UVW General Secretary Petros Elia brings solidarity to the rally supporting striking Security officers and receptionists from the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain outside Senate House. Cleaners, receptionists, security officers, porters and post room staff are all demanding that the university ends discriminatory employment practices and makes them all direct employees. Outsourced workers get far worse pensions, holiday entitlements, sickness entitlements, and maternity and paternity leave than in-house employees, and are often bullied and overworked and may be paid several months late. The workers also want an end to zero hours contracts and increases in pay they were promised. Following earlier protests the University is considering bringing some of the workers in-house, but they and their union, the IWGB, insist that all should be put onto the university payroll.
