I’m Angie, a cleaner at Sunshine Plaza.

I’ve worked at this centre for many years. I take great pride in my work, and I love talking to customers and helping shoppers find their way.

But, I and many cleaners like myself are struggling. In spite of the important work that we do, many of us can’t afford to pay our bills and put food in the cupboard, making $16.57 an hour.

Our shopping centre is a part of our community. It’s full of families and friends, and it’s where many people make their livelihoods. But, because shopping centre owners keep slashing cleaning contracts, there isn’t enough money to pay proper wages or have adequate staff on the floor.

Please join me in asking Lend Lease to do the right thing and stand up for our community. Please join me in asking Lend Lease to take their share of responsibility for the situation cleaners are in.
