OPINION:Frontline staff playing an integral role in keeping the country safe from the spread of Covid-19 are being paid the bare minimum in wages. It is also unclear at this stage when all cleaners working at MIQ facilities can expect to be paid a living wage. And yet, cleaning staff continue to see the evidence of this come to fruition. "We would like to see the living wage process sped up for MIQ workers," Danaher stressed to the Herald. "We view the cleaning staff as health workers and the MIQ locations as health facilities."
