4) A LATIN AMERICAN CLEANER ON A FIGHTING PLATFORM
Latin American cleaner Emilse Ocampo Medina from Birkbeck College is standing for the reserved seat for low paid workers in the Unison NEC elections.
She says:
“I am a migrant worker working for a private contractor in the public sector. I am a committed UNISON activist with a track record in fighting low pay, standing up to bullying bosses and fighting for dignity and respect for all workers. I believe the 26th March demonstration against the cuts was a great start but that we need to unite across the public sector and beyond to build real resistance to the attacks on public services and on our jobs.”
