OUTSOURCED cleaners at the Royal Parks in London are launching a two-week strike on Monday to demand the same conditions as their in-house colleagues. 

Members of public services union PCS and United Voices of the World (UVW) are also striking against possible redundancies of up to 30 per cent. 

Employed by outsource firm Just Ask, cleaners maintaining the prestigious landmarks, including Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, are demanding parity on sick pay, maternity pay, annual leave and pension entitlements as those directly employed by Royal Parks.
