Lambeth Living worker: why we walked out on management

By a Lambeth Living worker

At the Lambeth Living (Lambeth Council's housing 'Arms Length Management Organisation') staff conference on 8 November there was a lot of anger and nervousness at the announcement of job cuts. Staff were especially angry that directors on salaries of over 100k year and consultants on thousands of pounds a month would announce to staff that they would be sacked at a hall in London Bridge costing £9000 to hire.
