Cleaners who clean the offices of the Daily Mail newspaper have won the London Living Wage.
The cleaners, who are employed by contractor Mitie, were being balloted for strikes by the United Voices of the World union and had been threatened by Mitie′s management that they would be sacked if they struck. Over 100,000 people signed an online petition written by the cleaners supporting their demand for the Living Wage.
Cleaners have won a 25% pay rise from the national living (minimum) wage of £7.50 an hour.
