Outsourced workers join in fight against in-work poverty

OUTSOURCED government workers on an indefinite strike over pay were joined by workers from two other departments on a demonstration in central London yesterday.

Several hundred cleaners and caterers who work at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) marched from the BEIS offices to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).

The workers at BEIS, who are directly employed by agencies ISS and Aramark, are on strike in demand of the London living wage of £10.55 an hour.
