<P><STRONG>Cleaners, porters and catering staff at Lewisham hospital
in London had to walk out in protest</STRONG> last week to be paid
and given protective clothing. In the middle of a pandemic!</P>
<P>Their employer, <STRONG>ISS, rakes in billions of dollars across
the globe from services contracts with public bodies like the
NHS</STRONG> and with other wealthy corporations.</P>
<P>ISS’s failures at that hospital are all over local news thanks to
the courageous workers and their union -- but the issue is still not
resolved, and <STRONG>the workers can’t take it anymore. And neither
can we.</STRONG></P>
<P><A style="COLOR: #00abbd; FONT-WEIGHT: bold"
href="https://act.sumofus.org/go/520463?t=1&akid=71198%2E15424008%2EhOvvp9">Tell
ISS to pay its coronavirus frontline workers fairly - right
now!</A></P>
<P>These workers are at the <STRONG>frontline of the UK’s NHS
protecting patients, medical teams, and the public</STRONG> from the
spread of the coronavirus. It’s simply unfair.</P>
<P>According to Helen O’Connor, a GMB union organiser,<STRONG> for
many of these workers missing just one pay cheque means not being
able to pay the rent, or put food</STRONG> on their families’
tables.</P>
<P>We can change this. <STRONG>ISS’s annual shareholder meeting is
on April 2, and so execs and investors are watching the company’s
public reputation</STRONG> very carefully.</P>

ISS to pay at least the local living wage to all its healthcare
workers around the world, and ensure that they have adequate
personal protective equipment.</A></P>
<P>For the past 3 weeks, our community has been stepping up efforts
to ease the devastation of Coronavirus, and push for a
people-centred response from governments and corporations.
<STRONG>Tens of thousands of SumOfUs members like you demanded that
gig economy workers get paid sick leave</STRONG> -- and you’ve
already made a difference: Uber, Lyft, Hermes, and now Amazon have
announced they’re offering sick pay to drivers who’ve been diagnosed
with coronavirus or placed into quarantine. It’s got a way to go,
but it’s a start.</P>
<P><STRONG>Now let’s make ISS treat vital hospital workers
fairly.</STRONG></P><IMG alt=""
