	Pay UAL Cleaners a Living Wage Chelsea College of St, London. Tue 11 Mar 2014
	Opposite the College UAL Clean up your act - pay all staff a living wage Students, academic staff and trade unionists joined the protest The Students' Union took their banner inside the college asking if the Vice-Chancellor had left
	They went outside and shortly after he came out and talked to the students in a rather condescending fashion They made clear they didn't accept his excuses. The cleaners deserve a living wage and the university could and should insist that all of their contractors pay the London Living Wage to people who work there After he had left the protesters walked across the square to the building where the meeting was to be held They were told they could go in to the meeting so long as they put down their banners, placards and megaphones, and the students decided to do so. The rest of us left.
