: Morning Star: Migrants rights organizer raided

Tagged as: economic_crisis workers_struggles

From the Morning Star:

JUSTICE for cleaners union activist Alberto Durango hit back at bosses on Friday for using immigration raids to "victimise" employees organising their workplace.

Mr Durango, who is a prominent campaigner for migrant workers' union rights, was hauled away by police and immigration agents after he turned up for a meeting with his bosses at the London offices of the Lancaster Cleaning Company.

The Unite union member, who helped organise other cleaners on Lancaster's contract at Schroder's Bank in the City earlier this year, was arrested on suspicion of using false documents - despite having worked for the company for more than 10 years.
