Reinstate Alberto Durango – Protest 19 Mar

19th March 2010

The LRC is supporting the campaign to reinstate sacked cleaners’ rep Alberto Durango at UBS. The 19th March saw an international day of action against Swiss bank UBS, who via its contractor Lancaster has imposed an effective 10.75% pay cut on its cleaners in the City of London, while sacking shop steward Alberto Durango.

The protests were called in solidarity with the cleaners’ demands for stable working conditions, the sacking of the contractor and the reinstatement of Alberto Durango. Demos were held in London, Zurich, Edinburgh, Manchester, New York, Buenos Aires and Stockholm.

LRC joint Secretary Andrew Fisher spoke at the Rally outside UBS on Friday 19th March and offered solidarity from the LRC, while paying tribute to trade union activist and cleaners campaigner Alberto Durango.
