London, UK. 6th March 2018. Outsourced workers, including cleaners, security officers, receptionists, porters and gardeners who keep the university running smoothly protest noisily outside University of London Vice Chancellor Sir Adrian Smith's graduation dinner, calling on the university to employ them directly, for an end to zero hours contracts and to implement promised pay rises. Currently they are employed by contractors under worse holiday entitlements, sick pay, pensions and paternal leave than university employees, and are often subjected to discrimination, bullying and unfair deduction of wages. The university management has repeatedly refused discussions with the workers and their trade union, the IWGB, who are this week balloting for further strike action after months of campaigning. The workers and supported marched from Barbican station to the dinner venue and watched by police and security staff as they held a noisy protest and handed out flyers to those attending the dinner.
