Students at the University of London have once again taken part in high visibility direct action as part of the continuing ‘Summer of Action’ this time focusing on the lack of sick pay entitlements for outsourced staff at the institution.
Several students wore masks of the Vice Chancellor Adrian Smith and exhorted others dressed as sick cleaners to sweep, mop and pick up litter. Water was poured in the central hallway of the building to be mopped up, and the student ‘Vice Chancellors’ explained to conference guests that the cleaners did not deserve equal levels of sick pay to the directly-employed staff.
