Had to book a cleaning firm (not for me). Was given a quote. Cleaners were sent round and carried out work. Got speaking to the workers and it turns out that they were getting mw whilst the company charged more than 3 times this. And the poor cleaners didnt even get paid for travelling from job to job. She told me that whilst she had done a 10 hour day, she only got paid for 6 actually hours of cleaning. I kinda felt a bit sad that the actual workers doing the hard labour were getting probably the least out of it (financially). I got the distinct impression that this was just a stop gap job. (She was trained in something else but unable to get employment in that area), and she took this job out of lack of choice of other employment.
