	Garden Halls Closure Senate House Protest University of London. Fri 16 May 2014
	There was a steady stream of people going in and out of Senate House - many took the flyer about the Garden Halls closure and the redundancies of cleaners, caterers, porters, maintenance and security staff - and the refusal of either the University or their contractors Cofely to talk with the IWGB IWGB leader Alberto Durange arrived and the protest gained in volume and the protesters marched around the outside of Senate House The doors on the south side were locked as they arrived
	But they were able to walk into Stewart House and protest briefly inside there wandering around a little inside Stewart House where I was lost and possible they were too! Eventually we climbed up the stairs to a side exit watched by the secuirty staff who are also low paid workers who benefit from the union activities in the University Outside there was a little chanting before it was time for the protest to stop It had been held during the lunch break so as not to interfere with examinations taking place, and it ended a few minutes before some were due to start with the usual message "We'll be back!"
