More than forty people demonstrated outside the Institute of Engineering and Technology in Savoy Place on Wednesday 22nd, in support of Colombian cleaners unfairly dismissed by the cleaning company Amey. There was a simultaneous demonstration in Bristol outside Amey’s offices there [Photo]
One of the sacked cleaners and a former trade unionist in Colombia, Julio Mayor, said:
‘We were sacked for trying to communicate with the other staff at the National Physical Laboratory about Amey’s violation of the employment rights of cleaners there. We are protesting here to publicly request the National Physical Laboratory to take action against Amey to stop victimising cleaners.’
