<p>The MERU [Ecuadorians&#8217; movement in the UK] solidarises with our comrades unjustly sacked by Mitie, who include Bolivian, Ecuadorian and Portuguese workers.</p>
<p>This dispute started a few months ago when Mitie, without consulting the workers as it ought to have done, established new contracts with Willis Group forcing workers to work full time at night. A situation which the cleaners could not accept.</p>
<p>This attack was confronted by the workers, but today the struggle is still going on and needs fresh support. So MERU is putting out a call out for a protest against the Mitie company so that the workers are either allowed back to work or re-located.</p>
<p>These sackings are taking place in various workplaces, so we must be on the alert and fight back in unity to guarantee our rights at work.</p>
<p>PROTEST FOR THE DIGNITY OF THE CLEANERS, SO THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED BACK TO WORK, FOR UNITY AND SOLIDARITY WITH CLEANERS</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Assemble at the Willis Building, 51 Lime Street London EC3M 7DQ (nr Liverpool St) at 1pm, Friday 30th January.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Contact Edwin Pazmino 07931464890 or Juan Carlos Piedra 07908099375</p>
