RMT General Secretary Bob Crow said;
"On the opening day of the Games the many millions enjoying the events around the globe must not forget the London transport cleaners on minimum pay rates doing some of the dirtiest jobs in often appalling conditions with no Olympics recognition and reward whatsoever.
"The Olympics has to be about equality, inclusiveness and social justice and that's what our cleaners are standing up for on this great day for London."
