Old Bailey cleaners launch week-long strike over outsourcing
Striking cleaners at the Old Bailey
CLEANERS at the Old Bailey escalated their fight against outsourcing plans by launching a full week of strike action today.
Members of the Cleaners and Allied Independent Workers Union (CAIWU) first walked out on March 7, in a strike supported by unions RMT and PCS, as well as the General Federation of Trade Unions.
The dispute erupted after the cleaners learnt in January that the City of London Corporation had decided to outsource their contracts.
