RMT Wins 50 Permanent Jobs For Cleaners

RMT campaigning has forced cleaning company Interserve to commit to hiring 50 AGS agency cleaners on permanent contracts across London Underground by the end of April 2015.

This shows that union campaigning gets results. Our exposure of AGS’s exploitative practises, such as forcing workers to register as “self-employed”, is putting pressure on Interserve. Let’s keep up the fight and win more permanent contracts for cleaners.

Agency cleaners continue to be treated as second-class citizens by AGS, Interserve, and LU. Bakerloo cleaners reported recently that AGS cleaners are being forced to sign separate time-sheets to Interserve staff, which are often left lying around with personal details exposed.

Yet more evidence why we need to kick out the agencies and get all cleaners taken on permanently, as a first step to bringing cleaning back in house.
