OUTSOURCED security guards at University College London (UCL) are set to join lecturers in striking next week, their union announced today.
IWGB said its members will down tools on February 1 against “exploitative and racialised outsourcing that creates a lower tier of workers denied the same basic pay, rights and treatment as directly employed staff.”
