Facebook’s owner, Meta, has come under fire after one of its contractors was accused of sacking a union leader in retaliation for leading protests against poor working conditions and excessive workloads for its London-based cleaners.
Guillermo Camacho had worked as a contracted cleaner for the company for almost seven years until he organised the protests outside Facebook’s Brock Street offices in the summer of 2021. He was suspended from his job within months, and fired in October for inadequate performance.
