	Cleaners invade Barbican Centre Barbican Centre, London. Sat 16 May 2015
	The protesters walk through the city to meet other supporters a short distance from the Barbican and then march towards the Barbican centre They wait for everyone to catch up just around a corner from the centre and then rush in, too fast for the couple of security guards on duty to stop them They make for a central point inside the Barbican Centre and hold a noisy protest there with shouting for Sick Pay and trade union rights
	and blowing of vuvuzelas and whistles and some short speeches to tell everyone around how poorly the Barbican treats its essential staff who keep the place clean The Barbican Centre tries to wash its hands of the responsibilty towards people who work there by using Mitie to employ them. But their contract with Mitie ought to include safeguards for the workers in the Barbican Centre and some other employers have insisted on these as a condition of bidding for service contracts like this.
