HUNDREDS of low-paid train cleaners are striking and campaigning for better pay. The cleaners, RMT union members who work for subcontractor Churchill Cleaning, want £15 an hour instead of their current measly minimum wage rates of £8.91.
On one side you have low-paid strikers under the banner “justice for Churchill Cleaners: fight for £15.” On the other, employers who say they can’t afford to pay it. But follow the money and you can see it flows from minimum wage workers in Britain to people living it up in a Beverly Hills Mansion.
The strikers clean stations and trains across London and the south-east. They make Thameslink, Southern, Great Northern, Southeastern and Eurostar trains tidy and rubbish-free.
