This week, I reported on a possible cleaners’ strike at the London headquarters of Aviva on November 8.

A third of some 40 workers who clean the insurer’s headquarters in the Square Mile are set to walk out over a row with their contractor ISS UK. They claim ISS UK does not provide basic entitlements like sick pay, paid breaks, pay to cover colleagues’ absences or “adequate tools/materials” to do the job.
