Today’s demonstration cancelled… due to total victory. See first comment below.
The IWW IU 640 Cleaners Branch Is fighting to get the living wage at Heron Tower. The cleaning company LCC accepted they would pay it, but now are bullying our members, reducing the working hours and increasing the work load

FOR A REAL LIVING WAGE!
