British Airways Office Cleaners Strike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

British Airways (BA) office cleaners at London Heathrow, employed by OCS, have launched a strike over inadequate wages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workers argue that they are being paid significantly less than the real living wage despite OCS being accredited by the Living Wage Foundation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their dissatisfaction has led to planned demonstrations outside British Airways\u2019 headquarters and OCS’ Feltham offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protests aim to highlight the pay disparity between OCS’ directly employed staff, who receive the foundation\u2019s real living wage of \u00a312.60 per hour nationwide and \u00a313.85 per hour in London<\/strong>, and the British Airways office cleaners, who earn only the legal minimum wage of \u00a311.44 per hour<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This financial strain has forced some employees to rely on food banks and struggle with rent payments in one of the world\u2019s most expensive cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strike began with a four-day walkout in late February, with further industrial action scheduled from 15 to 22 March<\/strong>. Demonstrations are set to take place at key locations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
