Cleaners at a prestigious London private school have won their battle for improved pay and working conditions, as well as compensation for steep cuts in their hours, scrapping plans for industrial action that was due to have started next week.
As part of the dispute former pupils of James Allen’s girls’ school (Jags) in Dulwich, south-east London, distributed leaflets publicising the strike in the local community, and called on the school’s leaders to set a better example to pupils.
