This is a struggle for better conditions and for the right to fight! The campaign ‘Cleaners for a better future’ aims to improve the working conditions of 150,000 cleaners in the Netherlands by winning a better contract. Most importantly the campaign is a struggle for stronger self-organisation among workers in the cleaning sector. Cleaners, of whom 90 percent are migrants and 80 percent women, desire real lasting improvements - they are fighting for a dignified wage of (at least!) 10 euros an hour to be able to sustain their families, more working hours, work protection, more respect and the right to organise freely without repression. The clients who hire the cleaning companies, multinational corporations, banks, insurance companies, public institutions must show social responsibility by telling their subcontractors to do the right thing and improve the conditions and stop repressing union organisation. Cleaners are getting organised, and creating community alliances to demand a better life for themselves and their families!
