The London Living Wage (LLW) is calculated every year by the Mayor of London’s office as the wage needed to stay out of poverty in London. The 2011-2012 LLW is £8.30/
* adequate warmth and shelter
* a healthy, palatable diet
* social integration
* enough time away from work to avoid chronic stress
The LLW is not a legal requirement; however, it is an ethical requirement as well as a sound investment in staff. Even David Cameron has endorsed it. Poverty pay is morally wrong, and people living in poverty are cannot work effectively. All the Universities in Bloomsbury (including SOAS and Birkbeck) pay their workers the LLW, and for several years we have been campaigning at UCL to get cleaners, porters, security and catering staff (people without whom the university could not function) paid the LLW.

Please sign this petition and spread the word: tinyurl.com/uclucleanerspetition. Recently, the workers who clean our student union were threatened with the prospect of dramatic cuts to their working hours,… More which would severely damage the ability of many of these relatively low-paid workers to make ends meet. They have begun organising to oppose the cuts through their trade union. To support them, the elected union council reps voted to scrap the plan. However, it is possible that the union's trustee board - a bureaucratic committee that includes a number of unelected non-students - will choose to void the vote and go ahead with the cuts anyway! Please sign to call on the board to respect democracy, and respect the rights and well-being of the cleaners.
