Stories and songs from the cleaners' strike in the Netherlands
The long strike of the cleaners ended after 9 weeks on the 22nd of April with an agreement (CAO). The most diverse strike in Dutch history brings together people from all parts of the world. The cleaners are now 8 weeks on strike and moving in their buses all over the land to push both employers and their contractors to put an end to the degrading working conditions and sub-standard salaries of the cleaners. We are family and we want respect now!
