Hi folks

Sorry about the shameless plug... but I have copies of the DVD  
Underground Londoners to sell if any of you would like some -
Solidarity price £5 - but make us an offer and we'll see what we can do

Here's the deal;

Underground Londoner (Artemis 2007)

A 30 minute video-documentary by Dagmar Diesner and Klara Jaya Brekke  
on the lives and struggles of migrants working in the London Underground

Based on a year of ongoing conversations and interview with migrant  
workers working as cleaners in the London Underground, this film is  
about their living and working conditions as migrants with precarious  
status, as well as working under the Public Private Partnership of  
the London Underground.

Divided into three parts the film speaks first about the everyday  
living and working conditions in the Underground. The second part  
explains the Public private Partnership under which the cleaning is  
privatised and outsourced through several layers of contractual  
relations with a complex web of global companies.

Finally the workers involved in the Justice for Justice for Cleaners  
campaign hosted by the Transport and General Workers Union outline  
the victories as well as difficulties in organising people with  
precarious status. We follow some of the actions and demonstrations  
against the global companies involved in the PPP, as well as  
alliances made with social movements in the UK, and globally in the  
struggle for migrant rights.
