Guerrillaconcert Schiphol voor eisen Schoonmakers
beteretoekomst - 16.12.2007 19:14

Een honderdtal schoonmakers en supporters overrompelden zondagmiddag 16 december de centrale hal van Schiphol Airport, om er een uur lang een guerrillaconcert te geven. Dit was de laatste ludieke actie in de campagne van de schoonmakers voor een betere cao.





“Er was geen toestemming voor deze actie, maar het enige legale middel dat we op Schiphol nog hebben om actie te voeren, is staken. We wilden niet direct naar dat middel grijpen”, aldus Mari Martens van de vakbond van de schoonmakers.

´s Middags om 14.00 uur begon de actie klein, met een bende rebel clowns die Schiphol Plaza oppoetsten, tot groot enthousiasme van de kinderen die daar rondliepen. Om 15.00 uur voegde de sambaband Rhythms of Resistance zich erbij; de eerste slag op de trommels liet iedereen in de ruimte weten dat er iets aan de gang was. Uiteindelijk ontaardde de bijeenkomst in een groot feest waarvan ook de ruimschoots aanwezige politie en beveiliging niet meer wisten wat ze ermee aan moesten. Nadat de schoonmakers het publiek hadden toegesproken over de slechte arbeidsomstandigheden, maakte de Amsterdamse folkband Caspian Hat Dance, met accordeon, violen en staande bas, het feestje compleet.

Er is al met meerdere acties geprobeerd om Schiphol Airport verantwoordelijkheid te laten nemen voor de arbeidsomstandigheden van de schoonmakers die er werken. Tot nog toe heeft de leiding van de luchthaven echter geweigerd zich druk te maken over het feit dat de schoonmakers er te weinig verdienen om van rond te komen.
“Dit was een feestelijke manier om de boodschap aan Schiphol over te brengen. We gaan door tot Schiphol zijn verantwoordelijkheid neemt”, aldus Martens.

Cleaning Schiphol 
Rebelact - 17.12.2007 11:16

As Clown Cleaners (the cheapest cleaners in the world) we had another lovely day. Cleaned Schiphol Plaza. It was really hard work, but that's our job; we know where we're talking about!

Besides we also had a lot of fun! The shopping mall has a fantastic ice cream parlour. It's called 'Pronto' and we can assure you: their ice creams tastes delicious! How do we know? We all shouted our favorite slogan: "We want ice cream! ice cream! ice cream!"
A Pronto employee got the message and threw several ice creams in our direction. Some of them landed in a clown cleaner wig. Others at the floor. Anyway: we licked! It tasted like clown paradise! Yippieee!

And there was exciting dancing with samba and Caspian Hat Dance! They played wonderful! Also: a beautiful woman completely in black (could be spider woman i guess...). She was the emergency assistent; the one dealing with terrortourists (or how do you call them exactly?). She really looked frustrated when we were there. It looks like if she wasn't able to restore the order. And we heard: restoring the order is her hobby or work or something like that. However: life isn't always developing the way you expect it. Even... if you are an emergency assistent!
By the way: where was the emergency manager? We really missed her! Love to see woman in black! They have something irresistible...

Schiphol is also the place to be for criminals: we saw a very ugly, nasty Schiphol employee stealing a digital camera. These are moments it's very good you also have people dressed like police. It took a while before the blue boys did where they are payed for. We had to cheer them up a bit...
But at the end the legitimate owner got his camera back. Another Yippieee!

It wasn't a lazy sunday at all; it was a Crazy Sunday! There was just 1 problem, a big one: at Schiphol we smellt the horrible smell of exploiting the cleaners...
Whatever we cleaned (and we really did!), it didn't dissapear. For sure this has to change! We are afraid we have to come back!

Here is a clear picture of the zakkenroller who tried to steal a camera during the action. It is the guy on the right. Some people say he is also head of security! The woman in the middle is the one in black mentioned above. And the guy on the left must think that carnaval started early this year
