Hello everyone,
Firstly, thank you all for your support. It has given us so much encouragement.
Just to let you now that two of us have already been reinstated. That is great news. However, it is a divide and rule tactic from Sotheby's.
Me and Barbara have been told that Sotheby's will not allow us to return to work. Here is a short video from last month of me and Barbara - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt8ZwAIvJ6w
Sotheby's said we couldn't return to work because we are members of a trade union. Everyone has a right to be a member of a trade union but Sotheby' just don't seem to care and are more concerned with keeping the cleaners intimidated and afraid than respecting our basic rights. Sotheby's do not want us to return to work because they know we will ask for a real living wage and sick pay.
In order to keep up the pressure and raise further public awareness there will be another peaceful protest at Sotheby's car auction on 7th September at 6pm at Battersea Evolution in Battersea park. Please come and support if you can. Here is a link to the event on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/events/967757346578854/
