Addleshaw Goddard has said its London-based night-shift cleaners will be paid the London Living Wage from the autumn, following talks between the firm and its facilities management company.

The move follows Legal Week’s story this week (July 29) that Addleshaws’ night-shift cleaners are to go on strike next week (August 9) over their wages and other “basic rights”. The Cleaners And Independent Workers Union (CAIWU) had alleged that cleaners at Addleshaws’ Milton Gate office in Moorgate were paid below the London Living Wage of £10.55 per hour.
