Cleaning staff at HMRC to strike for better pay
CLEANERS whose jobs were privatised at HM Revenue & Customs on Merseyside are on strike for a week over pay.
The cleaners, who are members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS), were outsourced to contractor ISS.
They have asked the company, which has profits in excess of £200 million, to pay them £10 an hour. They also want holiday entitlements and full sick pay from day one of employment.
