CLEANERS at the London offices of banking juggernaut JP Morgan Chase will start an indefinite strike today after several of their colleagues were sacked.

The Thames Cleaning and Support Services workers are fighting for the London living wage of £9.40 an hour and recognition for their union United Voices of the World (UVW).

The union says that after Thames took over the contract this year it unlawfully sacked half the workforce, some of whom had been working at 11 Wood Street for 15 years, in contravention of Tupe regulations.
