London, UK. 5th November 2016. A noisy protest by cleaners briefly blocked Oxford St outside John Lewis. Cleaners' union United Voices of the World and supporters demand that the company treat its cleaners fairly on the same basis as other staff who work there. John Lewis is proud of its 'partnership' model, under which those who work in their stores get a share of their profits, but the people who keep the stores clean are treated as second-class citizens, excluded from the annual 'bonus' with wages only a few pence above the national minimum at £7.
