Please sign below to show your support for the Senate House London Living Wage Campaign. Organised by UNISON with the workers concerned, and supported by UCU, London Citizens, the NUS, numerous London-based NGOs and MPs including local representative Frank Dobson, the Campaign calls for all contracted-out employees working within the Central University of London to receive paid sick leave, to be represented by a recognised trade union, and to receive the London Living Wage (due to rise to £8.30 from 1 September 2011). Many of the constituent colleges of the University of London already pay this figure, approved by Mayor Boris Johnson, and independently calculated as the minimum required for a worker to live (as opposed to merely exist) in London. We call on the University to honour its commitment in principle to implementation and introduce the LLW for all its contract staff by 1 September 2011.
