How are cleaners being treated during COVID?

The UK cleaning sector is worth almost 拢50bn a year to the country鈥檚 economy. It employs more than 900,000 people, mostly women. Right now, many are vulnerable. Some feel they won't be able to stop working if they fall ill or have to self-isolate because they can't afford it. Jenni speaks to Katy, a cleaner, Maria Gonzalez - who's an employment barrister - and Janet Macleod, who's a Unite representative.
