Pay the Living Wage to Mitie Cleaners NOW

The people who clean stations for Network Rail, doing some
of the dirtiest work in the rail industry, are currently paid
below the Real Living Wage.
If you use Glasgow Central, Edinburgh Waverley,
Liverpool Lime Street, Manchester Piccadilly, Leeds City or
Birmingham New Street stations, you’re passing through
stations that are cleaned, day and night, by people who are
surviving on poverty pay.
Network Rail has outsourced the work of cleaning
many of their stations to a company called Mitie Facilities
Management, part of the Mitie Group plc.
Mitie Group paid nearly £49 million to its shareholders
in dividends in the last five years. But it won’t pay its
cleaners the Real Living Wage.
Network Rail is a multi-million pound public company
that should not be allowing its contractors to pay poverty
wages.
Mitie’s cleaners have had enough and we’ll fight for a
real Living Wage, but we need your help.
Please help us to persuade Mitie and Network Rail to
put an end to this scandal (see overleaf).

What Mitie workers say

50% of respondents to a recent survey of Mitie workers said they struggled to
make ends meet.
“This salary makes it impossible to save money. It's only just about enough to
pay bills and that's it.”
“£8.40 per hour is a joke. It’s a continual struggle to make ends meet and
doing without to cope.”

Support for the real Living Wage in

Scotland, Manchester and Liverpool
“I would encourage businesses and organisations to recognise the benefits of
the real Living Wage which is not only helping to ensure people’s basic pay
meets the cost of living but is increasing staff retention, productivity and
boosting morale in the workplace.”
Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland
“I will expect, over time, all companies in the city region benefitting from
public contracts to become living wage employers”
Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham
“Paying the Real Living Wage is not just the right thing to do, there are
significant benefits for individuals, businesses and the wider economy.”

It’s time for Mitie to do the right thing
