Canary Wharf Cleaners Get Union Recognition. No Sweat UK
One of the cleaners interviewed by No Sweat said that now they must build the union amongst all the cleaners in the other companies and take strike action to improve their wages. Marcia works as a cleaner during the night in the Morgan Stanley offices. She starts at 9.30pm and finishes at 6am. She gets £5.40 an hour and a half-hour unpaid rest break. The conditions are horrific and abusive.
“We are not allowed to wear anything underneath our uniforms, not even underwear”. She took the uniform out of her bag to show us. A sweat top and slacks. No pockets. “We are not allowed lockers because we might steal something and hide it there. When we leave in the morning we are searched by security men. There are no women security officers.”------------------------------------------- posted 8:57 AM :: reference link ::
