asacol The campaign 3Cosas, which means "three things" in Spanish, is fighting to gain the same sick pay, holiday pay and pensions for outsourced workers at the University of London as is currently reserved for those in-house. It is emblematic of a kind of student activism that sees increasingly little difference between students and highly precarious workers. Undergraduates understand they will face an unfavourable labour market, while graduate students working as teaching assistants often receive the same kinds of pay and working conditions that those within the 3Cosas campaign are organising against. Last week, the campaign won major concessions after a two-day strike organised by the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain, the union within which some 120 support staff at the University of London are now organised.
