Jeremy Corbyn singing "El pueblo unido jamás será vencido" next to our activists from the SOAS Justice for Workers campaign! He came to SOAS today to talk to our formerly outsourced workers about how their lives have improved since they were brought in-house. The struggle and the campaign at SOAS have shown how impactful better working conditions for migrants workers are. Lives do not only improve at a professional level, but also at a personal, emotional and communal one. However, la lucha continúa siempre! Our campaign is still fighting against victimisation, unfair treatment as well as for proper recognition as equal workers with equal rights. Also, we will never forget the deportation of 9 cleaners that took place over 10 years ago. We are still waiting for an apology from the School and will not stop fighting until we get it.
