Workers from Chartwells contracts in the UK and Sodexo met with Columbian workers on Monday and heard about how companies operating in Reading, Sheffield, London, Buckinghamshire and Southampton are treating workers doing the same jobs as many in the UK and just what they have to go through to be a member of a trade union.

UNISON are inviting members from the Reading schools project to meet workers from Peru who work for similar companies as Chartwells on Monday 23rd August. The meeting will take place in London and travel / subsistence expenses will be paid by UNISON. There may be an overnight stay involved, but this is yet to be confirmed.
