Cleaners protest at EY at More London SE1

Cleaners facing job cuts were protesting yesterday (12th June 2025) at the HQ of EY (Ernst & Young) at More London SE1.

'As cleaners for Ernst & Young, one of the four largest consulting and accounting firms in the world, we are outsourced to a company called MITIE. MITIE has now announced a wave of redundancies in order for them to be ‘more efficient for the client’. Currently 37% of roles are at risk at redundancy. This is an absurd amount of cuts, and is sure to leave remaining workers burdened by the excessive workload created by such a significant reduction in staff.

Ernst & Young is not beyond exploiting its most precarious workers to maximise its profit - the company declared a revenue of 40 billion GBP in just one year. In 2017, cleaners at E&Y were also facing unjust redundancies. With the support of our union IWGB, we fought back and managed to fully stop all redundancies. But now, EY is once again attempting to make a number of its workers redundant and putting our livelihoods and wellbeing at risk.

We are asking you to rally around us, raise your voices, and demand that Ernst & Young puts a stop to these extreme redundancies'.
