This is Halina Nowak and Ela Urban. They are the cleaners at @conwayhall (I can’t believe I didn’t know about this place, thank you #caitlindavies on @bbcwomanshour )This photo, professional photo by #AndrewFirth , is on the website under the heading ‘staff’. AND they are not stuck on the end, either. With the gaffer. As equal human beings. Welled-up. I would say more than half the people in my place of work don’t know the names of our cleaners, let alone say Hello or smile or nod. My boss doesn’t know my name. I have been there ten years. And I wear a badge with my name on it. Admittedly, I wear it upside-down sometimes. If I were interviewing people for a job, I would ask them the name of the person who cleans their current workplace. And then I would check, because people don’t half come out with some bullshit at interviews. Then I would secretly follow them around to see if they acknowledged someone opening the door for them. Then I would follow them home to see if they put their dirty clodhoppers on the bus seats where other people have to sit. Please visit me in prison. #elaurban #halinanowak
