Support this crucial battle: help build the 3 Cosas/IWGB strike fund!

Submitted by AWL on 10 June, 2014 - 3:37

Outsourced workers at University of London, employed by Cofely (cleaning and maintenance services) and Aramark (catering) are on strike 6-12 June as part of their fight against job losses at the Garden Halls, student halls of residence near Kings Cross where many of the UoL IWGB branch's members work.

The halls are being closed for refurbishment and the union is demanding redeployment for all the workers. This is an extremely important fight in terms of defending not only these workers' livelihoods but the base of organisation and struggle the IWGB and its 3 Cosas campaign have built up, inspiring the wider labour movement. The workers voted 100 percent in favour of strike action; their action is solid and looks like it is starting to shift management.

These workers are low paid and strike funds were crucial to their previous victorious struggles. The labour movement needs to mobilise the maximum solidarity, starting with donations to the IWGB strike fund. You can donate at:
