Help stop biometric controls in workplace for migrant cleaners

ISS is the company that has been in the news this week for doing the nasty on the cleaners in the City of London. Now they are at it in the London Underground. Cleaners in the depots, where they clean the carriages, must now clock in and out using biometric machines that measure their unique fingers' proportions. All the cleaners are migrants, who will be the first target of biometric IDs and the like. They want to fight this but need help.

Please call Javier on 07900 160 851 , or mail  cleaners@tgwu.org.uk if you have any knowledge on the law around this or want to support this particular form of discrimination against migrants.

Imagine this system being introduced in any "normal" workplace, employees would be up in arms!! So are the African cleaners, why do they have to be guinea pigs for new forms of control?

The new system starts on the 4th of december, please help the cleaners resist! They have been told they will be disciplined if they refuse, but they are already refusing.
