International Justice Day for Cleaners and Security Officers

The 25th anniversary of International Justice Day for Cleaners and Security Officers was marked by the SIPTU ‘Fair Deal for Cleaners’ campaign on Monday (15th June), with publicity events in workplaces across the country.

SIPTU activist and a contract cleaner at Cavan General Hospital, Teresa Thompson, said: “Cleaners and security officers contribute to our society in so many ways. However, much of our work remains invisible and undervalued but together we can change that. Contract cleaners and security officers must organise in their unions, working together and supporting each other to win respect, justice and better conditions in their workplaces and beyond.”

To mark the day, SIPTU contract cleaning and security officer activists held publicity events in numerous workplaces across the country and distributing special commemorative bookmarks. Among the workplaces were University College Dublin, Cavan General Hospital, Cork University Hospital and University Hospital Galway.
