Another immigration raid on workers who had organised for the living wage

15 July 2009

The 'Stop the Deportation of SOAS University Cleaners!' group has written to let us know that workers in the UNITE union at MITIE/Willis - who also organised around the living wage and who have been fighting off attacks on union organisation for some time - were today conned into a fake meeting on health and safety issues by their managers and raided.

Willis (global insurance brokers) and Mitie Cleaning & Support Services have been the centre of longstanding struggles. A number of colleagues have been picked up and detained. Protests will follow, with one on Friday at 12:30. Get in touch for more detials..
