Cleaners can't accept empty offersDate: 08 September 2004
More than 2000 cleaners, from across the state, marched today from Hyde Park, down Macquarie St to Premier Carr's office. They were there to make sure that their concerns about job security were heard right at the top of the Governor Macquarie Tower - where the Premier sits. " Some of our people travelled overnight from the farthest reaches of the state to let Bob Carr know that what is on the table is an empty offer," Annie Owens, NSW LHMU Secretary, said. " It's empty because the Government knows that under the current proposals any new contractor could fulfil their obligations by just offering one hour of work to a cleaner who has been working the job for 10, 20, 30 years. Like offering an empty glass without a drink" This offer is like someone handing you a glass, but it is empty, there is nothing in the glass to drink," Ms Owens said.Schools across the State have now not been cleaned properly for more than 24 hours. Many school principals will have to make decisions late today or tomorrow about whether their school should be shutdown because of concerns about health and hygiene.
