Mitie workers backed in their fight for a living wage
OUTSOURCED cleaners at Scotland’s two biggest railway stations have been commended by MSPs in their fight for a living wage.
Cleaners employed by Mitie at Glasgow Central and Edinburgh Waverley are calling for bosses to pay them the real living wage of £9 an hour.
Now Labour MSP Elaine Smith, who chairs rail union RMT’s parliamentary group at Holyrood, has tabled a motion in support of the cleaners.
