Cleaners on Bob Carr's doorstep

This week more than 1000 schools across the state have been hit by the 24 hour rolling strikes - the rolling stoppages will continue throughout next week.

" We want to inform the community and teachers of Bob Carr's campaign to attack the jobs of nearly 7000 cleaners," Jim Lloyd, NSW LHMU Cleaners Union President, said.

" Union members will be warning parents and teachers that once the school cleaners jobs are attacked parents will be asked to turn up and volunteer to clean classrooms and playgrounds.

" Bob Carr doesn't just want your taxes to help his Budget, he now wants parents and teachers to volunteer their labour to help stretch the State Budget."

School cleaners from around 100 sites in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs will take part in the morning pickets and afterwards rally outside the electorate office of their local State MP, Premier Carr, 806 Anzac Parade, Maroubra.

The LHMU proudly represents around 130,000 hard working women and men throughout Australia
