"Hey Auckland, Listen Up! The Cleaners, Are standing up!"

In Auckland today about fifty cleaners and their supporters marked International Cleaners Day with a rally and a noisy march down Queen Street to the National Bank building where billion dollar property company Allco won the Golden Toilet brush award.

The crowd had a festive atmosphere as it marched down Queen Street after speeches from Rev. Mua Strickson-Pua and the Service and Food Workers Union officials and the cleaners too. Some youth had prepared some raps which they presented through the megaphone, the cleaners had drums and one supporter had a massive shell that sounded like a trumpet. The rally got a good reception from the passersby as they chanted, "Hey Auckland, Listen Up! The Cleaners Are Standing up!" and "What do we want? A Clean Start! When do we want it? Now!"
