CLEANERS at the University of East London (UEL) will stage a protest next week as part of their #CleanersDemandEquality campaign for improved working conditions.
The workers, represented by the Cleaners and Allied Independent Union (CAIWU), confirmed today that the event will take place at UEL’s Docklands campus on April 13.
They have accused outsourcing firm Nviro of victimisation, favouritism, poor working conditions and “unscrupulous management practices.”
Numerous claims of workplace negligence have also been reported to the CAIWU, including “dangerously inadequate” personal protective equipment and unsafe measures for the handling of clinical waste.
UEL students’ #SaveUEL campaign has publicly declared its support for the protest and said it stands in solidarity with the key workers.
