End homophobic bullying at LSE

London School of Economics, London. Fri 24 Feb 2017


 

 The protest began outside the office block on the corner of Kingsway

 Where LSE have offices that out-source cleaning contractor Noonan work from.

 

 Many of the protesters were LSE students. After the protest there the marched onto the campus

 'LSE Say No to Homophobia'

 A long poster summarises the various headings under which the LSE Cleaning company Noonan is being taken to tribunal

 'Breach of Contract, Harrassment, Victimisation, Unfair dismissal and discrimation based on race, gender, sexual orientation'

 

 The protest blocked one of the public roads thorugh the campus, and a van driver came to argue angrily with

 the protesters - and LSE security tried to reason with him

 but he continued to shout and threaten the protesters

 and was gently restrained by LSE security

 LSE Security (in green) try to persuade protesters - including UVW General Secretary Petros Elia - to move off the road

 Protesters also called for justice for Alba and all the LSE cleaners, who are treated as second-class citizens

 and the protest ended with music and dancing on the street

 

 Eventually police arrived

 and tried to clear the street

 and the protest continued mainly on the pavement

 

Cleaners deserve decent pay and to be treated with dignity and respect for the vital job that they do
