Angry
workers took over the lobby in the Hilton Hotel in central London on Saturday
in solidarity with a member who worked there for six months and is owed
hundreds of pounds after being paid illegally at well below the minimum wage.
They demanded to see the hotel manager and the manager of the contract cleaning
firm, and danced in foyer until the police arrived. The protest was called by
the United Voices of the World (UVW), a street union founded in 2014 to represent
the mainly outsourced migrant workers of London. The UVW is a members-led,
campaigning trade union that supports and empowers the most vulnerable groups
of precarious, low-paid and predominantly migrant workers in Britain.
