John Lewis Cleaners Win Pay Rise
Monday
19 Novermber 2012 -- The industrial Workers of the World are proud to
announce their victory in their latest John Lewis cleaners' campaign. On
Friday 16 November, the IWW-unionised John Lewis cleaning staff
employed by contractor Integrated Cleaning Management won a 9% pay rise
as a result of their campaign.
The
outsourced cleaners work at four different John Lewis sites in London
and are employed by cleaning contractor Integrated Cleaning Management
(ICM). This announcement follows a previous press release on Monday 12
November, in which IWW lodged a fresh pay dispute on behalf the IWW
unionised cleaners at John Lewis, and a further press release on
Wednesday 14 November, in which the IWW announced our intention to
ballot the John Lewis cleaning staff for industrial action. The attached
campaign press release can be downloaded at the bottom of this article.
