London, UK 29th September 2016. A cleaner holds up a poster 'No Longer Invisible' at a meeting launching their campaign for parity of treatment with other workers at the LSE at a meeting led by their union, the United Voices of the World, part of the LSE's 3-day 'Resist' Festival. The cleaners, employed by 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. A cleaner holds up a poster 'No Longer Invisible' at a meeting launching their campaign for parity of treatment with other workers at the LSE at a meeting led by their union, the United Voices of the World, part of the LSE's 3-day 'Resist' Festival. The cleaners, employed by 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
