Migrant workers employed by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to stage protest over discriminatory pay
The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine

MIGRANT workers employed by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine are demanding an end to pay discrimination, the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has revealed.

About 30 cleaners, porters and security staff were set for a “lively march” outside the prestigious public research university in central London this evening, after the Morning Star went to press.

The workers, who are currently outsourced and paid less than their directly employed colleagues, are due to be brought in-house and benefit from improved terms and conditions such as sick pay, holidays and parental leave.
