Internal emails from the company that has a multimillion-dollar contract to clean Melbourneâs tram network suggest that cleaning standards were impossible to maintain while staff were underpaid and worked so hard they were put at risk of injury.
The emails, sent by the cleaning companyâs own senior managers, come as Yarra Trams staff reported that a cleaner working for the contractor had been seen collecting food scraps from a tram for several weeks so they could eat.
