Wages Of London Underground Cleaners

EDM number 1278 in 2005-06, proposed by John McDonnell on 14/12/2005.

That this House believes the 2012 Olympic Games should allow London to demonstrate that it is a city for social justice; is therefore concerned at the recent Queen Mary, University of London report which found that cleaners working on London Underground exist on poverty wages, do not receive annual pay rises and are often required to pay for their own training; condemns cleaning sub-contractors such as ISS and Blue Diamond for employing staff on such shameful conditions; and supports the Rail, Maritime and Transport Union campaign for social justice for London Underground cleaners which includes a minimum rate of £6.70 an hour.

This motion has been signed by a total of 40 MPs.
