AGENCY cleaners at several major railway stations nationwide have “had enough” and are kicking off a fight for pay justice tomorrow.

Members of the RMT who are contracted by the Mitie employment agency to clean stations run by Network Rail have begun a campaign for the real living wage of £9 an hour.

The cleaners’ campaign will highlight the poverty pay of the workers who look after Glasgow Central, Edinburgh Waverley, Liverpool Lime Street, Manchester Piccadilly, Leeds and Birmingham New Street stations.

A recent RMT survey of Mitie employees found that 50 per cent struggle to make ends meet on their hourly rate of £8.40.

By contrast, Mitie has paid out nearly £49 million in dividends to shareholders since 2014.

Demonstrations will take place across Britain this month and next, starting outside Glasgow Central tomorrow.

RMT general secretary Mick Cash said: “It is a scandal that the staff employed by outsourcing giant Mitie, doing some of the dirtiest work in the rail industry at all hours of the night and day, are struggling to make ends meet and are paid below the real living wage.

“Mitie’s cleaners have had enough and are fighting for a real living wage, but they need the help of the travelling public.

“RMT will be doing all it can to support Mitie cleaners, [who are] cleaning up the vomit, human waste and the rest of the filth at our stations.”

A Mitie spokesperson told the Star: “Mitie is fully supportive of initiatives to pay our staff the real living wage. We will do all we can to work closely with [Network Rail] and with other stakeholders such as the Business Services Association and unions where appropriate, to obtain a move to the Real Living Wage for our staff
