Cleaners at £15,000 a year school vote to strike over poverty pay
MIGRANTS being exploited on poverty pay while working as cleaners for an elite London private school have voted to take strike action.
Members of United Voices of the World union at Blackheath Prep are due to walk out, demanding the London Living Wage (LLW), the same sick leave as directly employed staff, and paid lunch breaks.
Workers currently take home £11.44 per hour, while the school charges over £15,000 per year per pupil.
