London, UK. 9th August 2018. United Voices of the World cleaners and supporters celebrate the end of their 3-day strike with a rally outside the Ministry of Justice in Petty France. They hand out leaflets to people leaving the building explaining why they are striking. The strike was part of a coordinated action against the MoJ, Kensington & Chelsea council and hospitals and outpatient clinics in London run by Health Care America, demanding the London living wage and better conditions of employment. The first hour or so of the rally took place in pouring rain, but this did not dampen the spirits of those taking part, who made speeches, sang and danced. Shadow Justice minister Richard Burgon came to give support and a message from Jeremy Corbyn, promising that a Labour government would end the outsourcing of cleaning which currently means cleaners are poorly paid with the legal minimum of sick pay, holidays etc. The cleaners want fair pay, decent conditions and to be be treated with proper dignity and respect by their managers and employers.
