Parliament cleaners go on strike.

20-07-2005 23:22

Not an unreasonable request when you consider how much MPs earn.
When you consider how badly Parliament has shafted the rest of us it’s hardly surprising that they treat their own cleaners like dirt as well. The T&G Trade union today organised a 1 day strike and protest over the conditions experienced by the agency staff who clean Tony Blair’s toilet.

20-07-2005 22:42

Jerry Hicks, highlyrespected by his workmates.
