Give cleaners/domestics the recognition they deserve.
Cleaners deserve a better deal and a pay rate that reflects the conditions they face each working day. They have one of the hardest jobs going and often face disgusting conditions but take great pride in their work.
Many times we don't get recognised for the work we do. This is unacceptable.
The standard pay for cleaners has always been the very minimum. At present this stands at £7.20 per hour in the U.K. yet we are often required to perform work that many think of as disgusting or dangerous.
Cleaners look after a company's appearance and safeguard its employees from illnesses and bacteria, and without our regular services all businesses would close.
Please rethink and give cleaners a fairer deal in regards pay and working standards for we are the backbone of any company.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Pay and conditions for cleaners are the responsibility of their employer, not the Government or Parliament. Parliament makes the laws that all employers have to follow.
You could start a new petition calling for the minimum wage to be higher for cleaners, if that's what you would like to happen.
