Striking cleaners to consider new peace offer
More than 2000 striking school and public building cleaners will meet next week to
consider a new peace offer from their employer.
Menzies Property Services has made an improved offer to 2200 employees, prompting the
Miscellaneous Workers Union to recommend its members vote on Monday to return to work.
The cleaners walked off the job today to protest against the company's plans to cut
working hours by 24 per cent.
The peace offer includes a lesser reduction in working hours and increased job security.
Under the original cuts the union claimed cleaners would have just six minutes to clean
a classroom and three minutes to clean a toilet.
