Justice for Cleaners visit Lloyds.

The latest city big hitters to be exposed for their dedicated effortsd to increase the gap between rich and poor are none other than Lloyds. The gleaming eyesore that is Lloyds city HQ is cleaned by contracters McLellan. Not only do they pay the cleaners a mere £5.35 an hour for working long unsocialble hour but also refuse to recognise the union. Cleaners are also on the minimum holiday allowance and have zero sick pay. Compare that to the seven figure salaries that others in the building are on and the injustice is clear. There are also reports that staff who have joined the union are being intimidated.

So fresh from their success at Goldman Sachs...

...Justice for Cleaners (JFC) visited Lloyds in the city for one of their noisy opening protests. If Lloyds have any sense they will sort this matter out before they suffer the same fate as Goldmans who had their stingyness exposed in both the Guardian and FT when JFC occupied their lobby last year. This forced them into a humiliating climbdown.

The JFC posse have promised to return to Lloyds in due course if their demands are not met and next time they will probably not be so polite.
