Dirt poor for working hard getting rid of other people’s dirt. I fail to understand why such an important job as cleaning is so undervalued. The term unskilled labour is commonly heard but I don’t think there’s any such thing. If shops and offices aren’t cleaned properly they can’t function safely. People need to be paid enough to cover their outgoings for a comfortable place to live, healthy food and transport with some left over so they can actually enjoy the fruits of their labour. My heart goes out to Denise and those like her who are faced with poverty every damn day.
Putting aside the foulness of the reality of it (I have friends who uncomplainingly, stoically, suffer it but how can I really know).......it's almost a meme that this is the work particularly of middle-aged Polynesian women. Always smiling, always willing, always not answering back. In 5 years from now we might have some regard for them when their 19 year old son proves to be a star with the Blues. And even then we'll patronise. As though we with all our disrespect and moral opportunism have a greater stake in that boy than they do.
An important milestone - and two millstones - added to the archive. Thanks!
Sadly stereotypical perceptions of North Shore 'Go Girls' + dry humping character and lifestyles have been reinforced by the entitled indulgers of Redvale. Good to see that model agencies have removed at least two participants from their books. Simeon will be mortified that it wasn't a gang.
