The next demonstration in solidarity with cleaners working for contractor Lancaster at Swiss bank UBS will take place from 1pm on Friday 5th March outside the bank’s 100 Liverpool Street office, in London. See below for a video of the previous protest, which attracted over 70 people.
We are demanding a reversal of planned cuts in cleaners’ working hours, as well as the reinstatement of Alberto Durango who was sacked by Lancaster because of his organising work.For Alberto’s article explaining the dispute see here. There is an activist organising meeting on the evening of Monday 1st March, email uncaptiveminds@gmail.com for details, or join the Cleaners’ defence committee Facebook group.
Here is a leaflet advertising the demo and a gig that evening where there will be a collection for the UBS cleaners & Alberto will be speaking
