Georgious Konstantinous “I have been working at the airport for 24 years. I came to Germany from Greece in 1989. A neighbor, who at the time worked in the man- agement office, asked me whether I was interested in a job. I’ve been here ever since. At first, I worked for Piepenbrock, they changed to Pedus in 1994 and GCS in 1998 (Gesellschaft für Cleaning Service mbH & Co. Airport Frankfurt/Main KG). I had no experience in cleaning and received training. I started off as a special cleaner, and then a driver of wet floor scrubbers. There, I cover around 22,000 square meters in a shift – almost the size of 3 soccer pitches. I always work the night shift from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Working night shifts pays better than day shifts. It doesn’t take long to get from my apartment in Raunheim to the airport on the train. Working conditions are good: I always work inside the terminal. GCS offers further training and German courses every year. My uniform is provided and I have a Job Ticket. And they pay on time – which is not always the case in other cleaning companies. I also get on very well with my bosses and colleagues. It’s never even occurred to me to work somewhere else.” 2014 Compact2014 Compact 33Responsible Corporate Management
