INTERNATIONAL CLEANERS DAY

Ms JODIE HARRISON(Charlestown)(19:58:07):Yesterday, Monday 15 June, was International Cleaners Day. Cleaners are the unsung heroes that keep our society running. They do their work and then disappear without credit or acknowledgment. During my time with the United Workers Union, I saw just how hardworking cleaners are, how essential they are and how undervalued they are. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted just how important cleaners are. Cleaners ensured our hospitals remained working at top efficiency, the frontline soldiers in the fight against coronavirus. Once again I say thank you to all the hardworking cleaners who do so much for so many, often without much in the way of acknowledgement. Thank you to Lisa who cleans my electorate office in Charlestown and to the team of cleaners that supports my colleagues and me at the Parliament of New South Wales.
