Cleaners protest at Capita

City, London. Fri 20 May 2016

  

 
 Protesters hold posters and the 'Justice for the Cleaners' banner outside the rear entrance

 'We are not the dirt WE CLEAN'

 

 

 

 A police officer arrives and talks with Alberto Durango and the security about the protest

 which continues, with the police officer watching and making notes

 Quite a few workers on their lunch break stop for a while to watch from across the street by the Guildhall Library

 

 
 

The protesters return to the front entrance of the building in Gresham St  

and continue their protest 

They hold a short meeting to decide whether to take a break, but decide to continue for a while and then go away 

 

An angry man in a suit shouts at the protesters, tried to grab Alberto's microphone,
tells me I should not be taking pictures, then grabs one of the protesters by the shoulder 

The police officer comes and tells him to stop making a nuisance of himself - and talks to him for a while before telling him to leave 

 

 

The protest continues, but I think is about to come to an end and I leave to catch a train.
