Merseyrail Cleaners Strike for 20p an Hour | Liverpool News

Merseyrail’s cleaning staff, contracted through Churchill, staged a morning strike in Liverpool demanding just 20 pence an hour raise — a modest ask that’s become impossible to ignore as inflation bites and company profits soar. Frustrated by being sidelined and denied direct employment under Merseyrail, the workers are calling for fair wages that reflect their vital role. The union says the cost to meet their initial demand is just £18,000 annually — a tiny fraction of the company’s earnings — yet negotiations have stalled. This strike isn’t just about pay — it’s a rallying cry for essential workers everywhere, demanding dignity and recognition for the services they keep the city running.
