One of the demands of the union was to ask for an annual salary increment. Their salary is minimum wage (previously RM1100, now RM1200), and stays the same throughout their career, regardless of working experience.

But in a country where cost of living is high and rising, this isn't enough for cleaners to support their families.

Continue to put pressure! We had over 1k letters come in (that we were able to count).
1/ "KALAU KITA SENYAP, KITA TAK AKAN DAPAT HAK KITA."
Sebagai pekerja kontrak, pekerja pembersihan sering dibayar gaji minimum (RM1,200), dan tidak menerima kenaikan gaji tahunan atau apa-apa faedah lain termasuk kontrak tetap, cuti umum berbayar 15 hari cuti tahunan dan bonus.

2/ Satu pekerja yang kami bertemu telah berkerja selama 20 tahun sebagai pekerja pembersihan. Gaji dia hanya RM1200 sebulan. Manfaatnya semakin kurang setiap tahun – contohnya, manfaat kesihatan telah dikurangkan dari RM1,200 ke RM200.
3/ “Selepas potongan pencen dan keselamatan sosial pembersih hanya dapat membawa pulang lebih kurang RM1,000 (US$233) – di sebuah negara di mana anggaran gaji kehidupan wajarnya adalah sebanyak RM2,700 (US$633) sebulan untuk seorang.”

As contract workers, cleaners are often paid the min. wage (RM1,200), don't receive annual pay rises or benefits like permanent contracts, 15 days of paid public holidays, annual leave, bonuses, retrenchment compensation.

2/ One worker we spoke to had been a cleaner for over 20 years. Her salary was RM1200. Her benefits had actually reduced over the course of her career -- a health benefit from RM1,200 to RM200, for example.
"Dari mana kita boleh mintak hak kita?" she asked.

3/ "After pension and social security deductions, cleaners’ average take-home pay is usually closer to RM1,000 (US$233)—in a country where the estimated living wage is nearly three times that, or RM2,700 (US$633) a month for a single person."
