On the 30th June Mr Aquilino Antonio Cueva Castillo (also know as Antonio), one of the Euston Tower cleaners, was called in to a meeting by ISS management and told that he was being made redundant. His last day would be the 22nd July. The reason given for Antonio’s redundancy is ‘cost cutting’. ISS took over the Euston Tower cleaning contract 6 months ago and are one of the world’s leading providers in facility services. In 2009 ISS made £21 million profit in the UK, their director was paid an estimated £350,000 yet their employees were paid an average of just £11,267.31. This is despite a profit per employee of £827.28, over two thirds of their average wage.* Euston Tower currently has 3 full time cleaners in order to provide a minimum efficient service. We can't afford to lose a cleaner and Antonio can't afford to lose his job. We, the undersigned, oppose this redundancy. *estimated figures from the TUC's Worksmart site. The average wage figure isn't pro-rata.

Reaching this level of support feels heavy because it proves how many people see the injustice in how Antonio is being treated. I am exhausted by the fight against a company this size but your backing keeps me moving forward.

Greedy. Totally greedy. Stop picking on the little guy.

ISS need to look at who is actually making their business run. Antonio is a vital part of the team at Euston Tower. Do not make him redundant.

The building is already a mess half the time without losing staff. If they cut more jobs it will only get worse. Bring him back immediately.

Ridiculous. These big companies make millions and then sack the people actually doing the work. Keep Antonio!

Antonio is the best. Always friendly and does a great job keeping everything spotless. Why get rid of him when they make so much money anyway?

He works so hard! Not right to just fire him like this when they have the money.
