Solidarity with Sheela!
Our #union will never tolerate maternity #discrimination.
That's why we were out in front of Escape Campus / Verbo Education in London to hold owner Raff Misceo to account.
Bad #ELT bosses everywhere - but especially Raff - we're here to hold you to account!🪧🪧

Escape Campus pushed out Sheela after maternity leave and underpaid her for months. Now, they’ve reneged on compensating her for this discrimination. We demand justice!
