JUSTICE FOR CLEANERS RALLY

Wednesday November 2nd, 2005 4PM

Cleaners in London are organising and fighting for respect and a living
wage. Every day and night DEUTSCHE BANK is cleaned by migrant workers who make £5.25 an hour. Deutsche Bank says they are ‘a fair and socially responsible company’, yet the cleaners that keep their buildings clean are on poverty wages.


These are the facts:

•Deutsche Bank is one of Germany's largest publicly held companies.

•Deutsche Bank’s net income in 2004 was £1.6 billion.

•Deutsche Bank’s profits grew 81% the same year.

•Since the beginning of the 1980's shareholders in Deutsche Bank have seen their investment grow every year by 10%

•Last year their Highest Paid Director received £6.8 million (623 times a
cleaner’s wage!) and between four Directors they shared out £17 million in
total benefits.

•It would take 52 years for a cleaner to earn what a Director earns in a
month

Stand up for Dignity, Respect and a Living Wage
