Those strikes resulted in the improvements in terms and conditions that John Fitzpatrick mentioned in the consultation meeting.

Some AXIS managers have stated in the ongoing consultations that there are now too many security officers on site due to the recent surge in recruitment of officers and the costs are too high for UCL. Around 280 security officers work at UCL currently.

AXIS Operations Director John Fitzpatrick claims that the proposed cuts to hours are needed as a direct result of UCL’s decision (following our campaign) to improve people’s terms and conditions, which has increased the costs for UCL.

It is not yet clear how many security officers will lose hours or be otherwise impacted by the proposed changes. And it is not clear whether the rationalisation plan is being driven by AXIS or by UCL.

If Fitzpatrick is telling the truth and UCL is driving the changes, then they have given with one hand, and are now trying to take away with the other. Security officers were given a 9% pay rise due to their campaign, but some are now facing a 30% drop in their wages.

This is truly shocking and calls into question UCL’s pledge to give their outsourced staff parity of terms and conditions with directly employed staff.

UCL’s security are fighting back, calling for ‘No cuts and no sham consultations’. Support them by sharing this far and wide!

Last week, AXIS’ Ldn Operations director affirmed that “parity comes with a cost” to defend cuts of hours Well, it is now confirmed that the ‘levelling up’ is funded by UCL, with no cost to AXIS, who falsely claim this to simply increase their profit by cutting hours illegally

No worker is disposable!! University of London, don't abandon your staff in the face of a recession, reverse the cuts and avoid distruptions! Simple ✊✊✊

When university workers are under attack, what do we do? STAND UP FIGHT BACK! 🔥🔥🔥 University of London
