Resolution: Cleaners

Submitted by Admin on 27 March, 2009 - 10:08

This resolution, proposed by Finsbury Park branch and seconded by Camden 3 branch, was passed unanimously by the Regional Council meeting on 26 March.

We note with increasing concerns the intensification of the attacks on our Cleaning Grade members and Representatives by their Bosses which have led to vindictive sacking spearheaded by ISS.

ISS have now refused to pay the outstanding London Living Wages (LLW) for Cleaning Grade staff working via sub contractors TubeLines and there is no indication that they will pay the LLW for 2009.

VOTE EARLY - VOTE OFTEN!

It’s an old saying, often attributed to the Chicago gangster Al Capone, and of course no-one at the RMT is encouraging electoral corruption or machine-gunning ER managers; but it is crucial that you get your vote in early. The balloting period starts today – March 24th – and lasts only 2 weeks, so put an X in the box and bung it in the post immediately!
