CONTRACT cleaners at a top private school for girls in London are to strike over pay cuts.

The migrant cleaners at the £24,000-a-year James Allen’s Girls’ School (Jags) in south London’s affluent Dulwich area say their employer DB Services cut their pay from £13.15 to £11.55 an hour in July after they voted to strike against a reduction in working hours by the equivalent of five weeks a year.

The cleaners are members of the United Voices of the World (UVW) union and voted unanimously for strike action.
