"This book provides the first intensive study focusing on building cleaners and their global experiences. It brings together an international group of scholars and experts to investigate different national contexts and examples; draws out important commonalities and highlights significant differences in these experiences; examines topics including erosion of cleaners' industrial citizenship rights, the impact of outsourcing upon their working conditions, economic security, and the intensification of their work and its negative effects on physical health; considers how cleaners are mobilizing to resist and respond to the restructuring of their work."
