UCL Union Living Wage Campaign Week!

To put pressure on management, who have no excuse to delay or avoid paying the London Living Wage we are having a UCLUnion sponsored campaign week AND WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

Please attend and share the Facebook event!

There are many activities to get involved with throughout the week:

Monday 21st November - London Living Wage Information Session & Social
7pm - 10:30 pm in the Print Room Cafe
Come along if you want to find out more about the Living Wage, the campaign at UCL, and to get involved. All welcome especially spanish speakers! Drink and nibbles provided.

Tuesday 22nd - Workers' Rights Forum
1pm - 4pm in Room 204 in the Bloomsbury Building
6pm - 8pm in Room 218 in Foster Court
Are you working while you're a student? Are you a Postgrad working for UCL? Planning to get a job in the future? Then come along and find out your rights at work, ask any questions, and meet other workers. With representatives from the successful Living Wage campaigns at SOAS, Senate House and Guildhall.

Thursday 24th - Film screening of "Nightcleaners" with a discussion afterwards with the director, Humphry Trevelyan
8pm - 11pm in Gustave Tuck LT
‘Nightcleaners’ is a documentary made by members of the Berwick Street Collective, about the campaign to unionize the women who cleaned office blocks at night and who were being victimized and underpaid. It is increasingly recognised as a key work of the 1970s and as an important precursor, in both subject matter and form, to current political art practice.

Friday 25th - Demonstration in the Quad
1pm
UCL, follow the example of other colleges in Bloomsbury, and pay the living wage now! The workers shouldn't have to wait any longer!


We look forward to seeing you next week and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!
