(en) Britain, solfed: Is Your Cleaning Job Killing You? health, safety and sexism
Date
Thu, 9 Nov 2017 09:53:55 +0200
Cleaners have a vital role in society, yet their job is poorly paid and routinely
dismissed as a job carried out mainly by women to earn a bit of extra cash; cleaning is
not generally seen as a particularly physically hard or dangerous job, many people see it
as involving a bit of dusting, mopping and hoovering. ---- Written by a cleaner, Solfed's
latest pamphlet draws on research from across the world to show the reality of cleaning
and the impact the job has on the health and wellbeing of cleaners. The pamphlet not only
examines the more obvious aspects of the job that affect cleaners' health, such as the
physical demands of the job and the effects of cleaning chemicals, but also takes into
account the detrimental impact of factors such as low pay, ever-increasing workloads, low
status, sexual harassment and family commitments on the everyday lives of cleaners. In
doing so, the pamphlet exposes the true cost being paid by cleaners and their families for
job that is central to the wellbeing of society as a whole.
As such, this pamphlet is not only essential reading for cleaners but for all those
interested in seeing greater justice for one of the most exploited and marginalised groups
of workers.
Copies of the pamphlet will be available from the London Anarchist Bookfair on 28 Oct, or
from your nearest Solfed Local.
