Lack of an agreement on sick pay forced her to return to work while still unwell and she was sacked by contractor Compass Union members make a lot of noise in front of the Bloomberg offices a police officer tries to talk with IWGB President Alberto Durango who ignores him They walk around in a circle in fron to the offices blowing horns
	as people go in and out at lunchtime Alberto speaks about why they are protesting and sacked union rep Hanna Abebe talks about her treatment by Compass managers An increased workload when she was pregnant led to a miscarriage at work The cleaners get only the statutory minimum sick pay, and she could not afford to stay off work She came back to work when still suffering after the miscarriage. Compass sacked her, and she says she was victimised because of her activities as IWGb union rep
