28 Days to In-Housing: STRIKE!

1/ Outsourced workers at @LSHTM will strike 18 to 20 July during LSHTM #graduation celebrations over poverty pay!

Support striking workers and their fight back against the #CostOfLivingCrisis by donating to the strike fund: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/ls…
2/ At the height of a #CostOfLivingCrisis, LSHTM tried to victimise its workers, taking disciplinary action against 6 workers for union activities! But they remain united in their demand for fair pay, having voted UNANIMOUSLY to strike! #SummerOfStrikes
3/ This majority-migrant & BAME workforce is paid the lowest grade at the University, despite others with similar responsibilities being paid higher! With inflation set to hit 14% for the UK’s poorest households, our workers cannot support their families on these poverty wages!
4/ Keep an eye out for details of picket times, and please donate to the strike fund. Every penny helps our workers use their collective strength to win the pay that they need and deserve!

🚨 BREAKING: @JustEatUK subcontractor @Stuart_Delivery’s own mapping system is broken, and its leading drivers to lose their jobs for NO REASON during a cost of living crisis!

Read and RT the shocking thread!

theguardian.com/business/2022/…
2/ @Stuart_Delivery’s own mapping system frequently directs drivers down illegal and unsafe routes. And the head of engineering admits it! When you add the everyday traffic and roadworks that the app also fails to plan for, this means drivers have to take unexpected detours…
3/ But instead of working on its app or trusting couriers, @Stuart_Delivery fires drivers for taking detours! Stuart lacks functioning driver support so when unexpected things happen at work, Stuart would rather fire people than have a normal human conversation.

1/ "The union is getting results!"

BIG VICTORY for our riders in Dalston following their boycott of @WingstopUK a few weeks ago. Listen to our members Debora, Ueder, and Ana Thais talk about how they organised against the mistreatment of riders!
2/ Wingstop restaurant was notorious in the area for mistreating riders, even denying them toilet access. So the riders decided to take ACTION. The following week they received this email from @Deliveroo MEETING ALL THEIR DEMANDS!
3/ This kind of message from Deliveroo is unprecedented. Almost every rider will tell you that it doesn't respond to complaints about restaurants. Companies refuse to defend workers who make their profits, while riders face disrespect and go UNPAID for long order waiting times!

🚨 Pay equality now!

@LSHTM is in-housing its majority-BAME cleaners, porters & security, but it's still maintaining a 2-tier pay structure! It’s time for LSHTM to end the discrimination for good and give our workers a dignified wage!

Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/in-h…
2/ Outsourced cleaners, security, porters & post-room staff at @LSHTM have faced years of discrimination, on worse pay & conditions than directly employed colleagues - part of a bigger problem of structural racism at the university.

theguardian.com/education/2021…
3/ Last August, @IWGBUoL got organised at @LSHTM and won insourcing - a massive victory for our members. But we’re still waiting to see equal pay! Amidst the cost of living crisis, it is unacceptable to see some workers paid below the @LSHTM’s lowest pay grade!
