“3 Cosas” news

Submitted by Matthew on 17 July, 2013 - 11:53

The “3 Cosas” campaign of outsourced workers at the University of London for sick pay, holiday, and pensions equality organised a week-long “planton” at the university’s flagship Senate House building on 8-13 July.

The planton (from the Spanish “plantar”, meaning to plant or install – there is no direct English translation, but the nearest equivalent is “presence”) involved holding all-day stalls outside Senate House offering tea, coffee, biscuits, and (most importantly) information about the campaign and the union to members of staff. New members were signed up to the IWGB University of London branch.

The campaign’s Summer of Action continues with a demonstration on Wednesday 17 July. For more information, see the Facebook page or follow @3CosasCampaign on Twitter.

As Solidarity went to press, activists were planning protests outside Holborn police station in support of a student activist who was assaulted and arrested by police for chalking pro-3 Cosas slogans on University of London property on Tuesday 16 July.
