Justice for Stalin

Ignoring the obvious joke that it is the SWP who are demanding justice for Stalin, I’m not sure what to make of this report since it’s only on the SWP web site so far.

However, any real activist involved with the real non-SWP front “Justice for Cleaners” (which is led by London Citizens and Unite) deserves our support if they are being genuinely victimised. Check out the original post here and ask for further details but bear in mind the very dubious source.

Demand justice for Jose Stalin

The Unison union at the School of Oriental and African Studies (Soas) in central London is demanding its members are balloted for strikes over the suspension of branch chair Jose Stalin.
Jose has been a leading figure in the Justice for Cleaners campaign at the university, which has won the London Living Wage


Sandy Nicoll, Soas Unison branch secretary, said, “We view this as a form of victimisation and are asking the national union to ballot us for action.”

Jose told Socialist Worker, “Over the last two years our campaign has won better pay for cleaners, and now management has suspended me.”Email messages of support to an2@soas.ac.uk
