Protest ISS Union-busting and Attacks on Migrant Workers

Regional Organiser Steve Hedley writes ...

"RMT is holding a protest outside Initial Rentokil offices (Brunswick place, Old Street N1 exit 1 at Old St Station) next Saturday 25th September at 2pm to tell the company in no uncertain terms that we will not allow union busting.

Initial are having people arrested for immigration issues if they complain about not being paid properly or merely becoming active in the RMT. We need your support please attend and show your solidarity with our cleaner members."

The RMT and TSSA have an ongoing overtime ban in place with London Underground station staff. Since the overtime ban began several Stations have been closed due to lack of staff, and in some cases left unstaffed or 'baby sat' by station assistants.
