JUSTICE FOR CLEANERS RALLY
Wednesday November 2nd, 2005 4PM
Cleaners in London are organising and fighting for respect and a living
wage. Every day and night DEUTSCHE BANK is cleaned by migrant workers who make £5.25 an hour. Deutsche Bank says they are ‘a fair and socially responsible company’, yet the cleaners that keep their buildings clean are on poverty wages.
These are the facts:
•Deutsche Bank is one of Germany's largest publicly held companies.
•Deutsche Bank’s net income in 2004 was £1.6 billion.
•Deutsche Bank’s profits grew 81% the same year.
•Since the beginning of the 1980's shareholders in Deutsche Bank have seen their investment grow every year by 10%
•Last year their Highest Paid Director received £6.8 million (623 times a
cleaner’s wage!) and between four Directors they shared out £17 million in
total benefits.
•It would take 52 years for a cleaner to earn what a Director earns in a
month
Stand up for Dignity, Respect and a Living Wage
Where: Deutsche Bank Headquarters, 1 Great Winchester St., City of London
Meeting Point: The corner of London Wall & Blomfield Street (right next to Café Nero) two blocks from Liverpool Street Tube Station.
Directions: Starting from corner of Liverpool Street and Old Broad Street.
Go south on Old Broad Street until you get to London Wall. Take a right
until Blomfield Street.
