We, the cleaners at London South Bank University are employed by Interserve. We work to keep the University’s buildings and premises clean and free from hazards for all students, staff and visitors.

Our contribution is undervalued by Interserve and by London South Bank University. We are in precarious employment, paid only £5.93 p/h and do not get paid when we are sick and unable to come to work.

World Day for Decent Work is a global occasion for trade unionists to mobilise and show solidarity with poorly paid workers. It is a day when trade unions all over the world stand up for decent work and conditions. We demand that all workers be paid a decent wage, a living wage that will help us live and not just exist!

We ask you to support our action:

Join us in a protest rally, 7 October 2011, 12:30-1:30 in front of Technopark building, London South Bank University, London Road SE1 6LN
