BREAKING: following strike action cleaners organised in UVW win London Living Wage
UVW media
4 September 2018
UVW members at The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall win the London Living Wage (LLW) after three days of unprecedented coordinated strike action.
After meeting yesterday the CEO and Leader of the council, The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea have committed to concede the cleaners’ demands to be paid the LLW and review their current terms and conditions on early termination of a ten year contract with Amey who the cleaners are currently outsourced to.
The council has commited to make this happen by December 2018, and the head of the council Elizabeth Campbell personally agreed to try and bring about a retrospective payment of the difference in wages from October until the cleaners are paid the LLW.
Discussions about bringing the cleaners up to the LLW have apparently been taking place for 8 years, but it was only after the cleaners organised through UVW, took three days of strike action and occupied a council meeting that this was finally addressed.
UVW is now representing the cleaners and security guards working at Ministry of Justice who are making the same demands.
