UNI affiliate, United Voice, kicked off International Justice Day for Cleaners and Security Guards for 2014 by protesting outside the Australian Parliament in Canberra.

Cleaners fear that the new conservative government is proposing to  cut workers' wages at federal buildings by 20 per cent and undermine job security when contracts are next signed as part of plan to 'cut red tape'.

Cleaners and their supporters gathered on the lawns outside the parliament and were addressed by Opposition Labor Party Leader Bill Shorten, who promised to fight cuts to cleaners' wages on International Cleaners Day.

United Voice held a number of other actions throughout Australia.
