St Georges's Hospital Security Guards

Tooting, London. Thu 20 Feb 2020



 The UVW were meeting opposite Tooting Broadway station where Petros Elia was being interviewed for a video

 

 It was a protest with a party theme - and lots of balloons.

 One of the striking secuirty guards is interviewed

 

 We wait for some late-comers

 

 

 

 Writing slogans on some of the balloons

 

 

 

 Finally it's time to go and Petros explains what the protesters will try and do

 and they set off

 behind the banner

 'End The Abuse Of BAME Workers - Security Guards Silent No More'

 

 They walk into St George's Hospital - there are few secuirty guards working and they cannot stop the crowd

 and go down to the end of the wide corridor

 where Petros explains to everyone around why they have come to protest,

 Security Guards deserve decent conditions of service - and should be employed by the hospital and not by

 contractors. Propsective students are going into the meeting through the door at the end

 

 Jenner looks down on the protesters

 

 Police officers arrive and talk with Petros

 he persuades them to let the protest continue promising it will leave the building without trouble shortly

 and the protesters dance to some loud music
