National rail cleaners’ dispute Why we’re on strike

Cleaners across the rail network in Britain are on strike today to win a pay deal that can help us with the cost-of-living crisis.

We are all outsourced – employed by separate outsourcing companies that win contracts by holding our pay down and denying us sick pay and decent pensions.

Most of us earn around £10 an hour.

As prices rise, we’re really struggling to make ends meet for our families.

Meanwhile the companies that employ us have DOUBLED their profits since the pandemic, making more money out of us as cleaning is recognised as essential.

Workers all over Britain need a pay rise

Companies run by the super-rich in our society need to spend less on dividends and executive bonuses and more on the people who work for them.

Please support our strike.

What you can do

Write to Secretary of State Mark Harper asking him to intervene and make sure rail cleaners get a fair pay offer:
