Lynne Davies is among four female cleaners aged in their 50s who will be sacked this week without any redundancy pay and offered job opportunities as far away as New Zealand.

The closest job vacancy listed by cleaning company Spotless, which will sack the women on Wednesday, is a casual position in Nowra, an hour's drive away from where they live in Wollongong. The women who have full-time jobs said the Nowra job offered too few hours, negating the travel time and cost.

Most of the job vacancies Spotless listed are in New Zealand and in fields unrelated to cleaning.

Ms Davies, 58, who has worked for Spotless for 14 years said she loved her job and was "disgusted" with the way the company had terminated her job without providing any redundancy pay. She was too young to retire and said she would find it "tough" to get another job.
