On the 17th July, striking workers from London, the South and the Midlands demonstrated in Westminster to make their fight heard by the new government. Across the country, over 1000 Security Guards employed by G4S are striking for fair pay as they’re now paid Minimum Wage. The Guards who are members of GMB and PCS work in Job Centres protecting staff and the public. They put themselves at great risk and yet are paid the lowest possible wage by G4S – one of the wealthiest outsourcing firms in the world.
Oh and by the way – this video came out of a new videoactivist group set up after a Reel News training workshop at the New Organising Conference a couple of weeks ago. Great to see Andy and Rachael producing a video of an actual struggle so quickly!
