I hope this is the right subforum, I wasn't sure whether this one or the Practice & Propaganda one was better, neither seem perfect.
I live in a building with 30ish other people, and some of the common spaces are cleaned by a cleaner we collectively pay. She recently asked for a raise (apparently the first in 20 years!) and in a few weeks we're having a meeting where among other things our arrangement with her will be discussed.
Until it came up I wasn't aware we had a cleaner, but since it I've been thinking about what the arrangement would be. I'm going to propose what I come up with at our next meeting, the people I live with are somewhat left from average so there's a decent chance I'll get it accepted.
I want to make it as fair as possible so she doesn't have the uncertainties and exploitation with us that normally come with being a wage worker. Sadly searching the internet only resulted in a thousand tips on how to exploit your cleaner...
What should I put in my proposal for our arrangement with the cleaner?
