Hammond defends profiteer for sacking poverty pay cleaners
Foreign Office staff get kick for ‘bringing contract into disrepute’ by requesting pay rise
HEARTLESS Tory Philip Hammond yesterday defended the redundancies of Foreign Office cleaners who appealed to him to end their poverty pay misery.
Three of the 14 cleaners who wrote to the Foreign Secretary in July asking him for the living wage have been made redundant by contractor Interserve.
The remaining cleaners say they were disciplined by bosses, who claimed they were “bringing the contract into disrepute.”
