We’ve had a promising response from Aramark, the hospitality contractor at the UoL, following the start of our campaign to have all staff working at the University be given the option of proper contracts.
Aramark have replied to say that they are in consultation with the University as to how they ‘may adjust their working practices’, and wish to ‘provide alternatives which work for [their staff] if they choose to change’.
Obviously, this is far from a cast-iron guarantee, and we need to ensure that we keep the pressure up to ensure that Aramark honour the spirit of this response and offer contracts to those employees who request them.
We’ll keep you posted BUT do also get in touch if you would like to help with the campaign – uol@iwgb.org.uk.
Hasta la victoria!
