A SECURITY guard and trade-union activist has been suspended by his employer over his opposition to the outsourcing of jobs, the United Voices of the World (UVW) union said today.

UVW member Cetin Avsar was allegedly suspended by outsourcing firm Wilson James because in his previous job he had led a strike  against work being contracted out.

Mr Avsar had led a strike at St George’s, University of London, for jobs to be “taken in-house and given the same terms as all in-house employees.”
