“We won’t suffer in silence!” – Guildhall Cleaners’ Protest for a Living Wage
Guildhall Cleaners and Protestors
The Cleaners of Guildhall, many of whom are members of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), are holding a rally and demonstration at the Guildhall this Friday at 9am. They are demanding respect at work and calling on the Corporation of London and its cleaning subcontractor to ensure they receive the London Living Wage which is currently set at £8.30.
In recent months, The Guildhall has shown “the power of London’s ruling elite”, is being used to discriminate and bully some of the lowest paid workers in the City. In July, non-English speaking cleaners at protested at The Guildhall with their English speaking co-workers and subsequently won back their pay for unpaid work. This included having their Annual Leave cut due to time off for the Royal Wedding!
