On this day, 8 June 2017, after a 10 month-long campaign including seven strike days and two occupations, cleaners at the London School of Economics became the first outsourced workforce in the UK to make a university bring them back in-house. The workers, all migrants and people of colour, organised themselves in the grassroots union United Voices of the World, which achieved numerous other victories for similar subcontracted workers across London after taking sustained strike action.
