Solidarity with SOAS Cleaners

Ecuadorian Movement in the UK (website)

 

Lenin

A demonstration was held on the steps of SOAS on 4 October 2012, to express solidarity with the cleaners of SOAS and, in particular, with the plight of Lenin, an Ecuadorian who has recently been suspended following alleged failure to conform to work requests. Lenin and his supporters claim that unreasonable demands are being imposed upon him and other SOAS cleaners, in terms of being asked to do things for which they aren't officially contracted and to work extra hours on demand - "basically, they are being overworked", as one insider put it. Lenin faces a tribunal with his employer (SOAS contractor ISS) next week.
