OUTSOURCED migrant cleaners at a £24,000-a-year private school in London have called off strikes after reaching a deal with bosses.

Cleaners employed by DB Services at James Allen’s Girls’ School had voted to strike after their pay was slashed by 12 per cent to £11.55 an hour. 

They commenced legal proceedings after being informed that changes to their contracts would take effect without consultation, their union United Voices of the World (UVW) said.
