Campaign against Immigration Controls

The Background

In September 2008 five Colombian cleaners working for Amey Plc at the
National Physical Laboratory were suspended for daring to criticise Amey
for putting an excessive workload onto ever fewer staff, for
unilaterally changing terms and conditions and for disrespecting
grievance procedures. The five have since been sacked.

Why campaigning against Amey plc?

A public talk and discussion organised by London NoBorders, Campaign against Immigration Controls and the Latin American Workers Association
Sunday November 16th, 5.30pm, Pullens Centre, SE17 3AE

Three months ago five Colombian cleaners working for Amey Plc at the
National Physical Laboratory were suspended for daring to criticise Amey
for putting an excessive workload onto ever fewer staff, for
unilaterally changing terms and conditions and for disrespecting
grievance procedures. The five have since been sacked.

The case of Amey Plc seems to be typical of the working condidtions
many migrant workers face in the UK and the profit companies make from their precarious situation. In our talk we will hear from workers
involved in those struggles and activists supporting them what their
experiences are to organise and what the perspectives of such self
organised struggles could be.
