Estates dept at Queen Mary make great commitment to LLW and beyond

I cant believe the difference between QM Estates department and SOAS'.

Compare thses two statements.

SOAS: Sharon Page, a Governing Body member said in an Estates meeting that she didn't think the cleaners deserved more pay because 'they don't even do a good job anyway'.

to

Queen Mary: Ray O'Halloran, head of the estates department at Queen Mary [on deciding to pay £8.86 per hour], added: "We were not innocent; we knew that people were doing two or three jobs to survive. We wanted to set a higher standard."

Million miles away. Must be the influence of all those Marxists in the business department (I kid you not!)
