Dear RMT Member,
THIRD PARTY DISMISSAL BY KAD – MMADUKA JOSHUA OBI, ISS (KAD CONTRACT)
I write to advise you that the ballot has now closed and the result is as follows:-
Are you prepared to take strike action?
Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot: 19
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 6
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 6
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 0
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 0
Are you prepared to take industrial action short of a strike?
Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot: 19
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 6
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 6
Number of individuals answering “No” to the question: 0
Number of spoiled or otherwise invalid voting papers returned: 0
Unfortunately, despite a vote in favour of taking action the statutory thresholds have not been met in respect of this ballot. The union's National Executive Committee has taken the decision to re-ballot members and I will advise you of the timescales very shortly.
I urge you all to make sure you use your vote to ensure a 50% turnout in the ballot, which will allow RMT to demand that the Company resolves this dispute and restores Brother Obi’s employment with ISS.
Yours sincerely
Michael Lynch
General Secretary
