Dear colleague

 

JUSTICE FOR CLEANERS – BALLOTS OPEN AND NEW REPORT PUBLISHED:

 

Last Friday, RMT opened our biggest ever ballot of cleaning grades. Ballot papers are being sent out to members employed by Atalian Servest on Avanti West Coast, Great Great Western, South Western and LNER, Bidvest Noonan on Northern Trains and Alstom Transpennine Express, Carlisle Support Services on Arriva Rail London, Churchills on GTR, Network Rail HS1, Southeastern trains. Eurostar and Mitie on Network Rail Stations and Transpennine Express. 

 

Branches with members involved in these ballots are encouraged to help get the vote out in these vital ballots. Those branches have had leaflets dispatched to them and you can share an electronic copy of the leaflet here: https://tinyurl.com/2p9vw6ks

 

To coincide with this historic event, RMT has also published a new report which shows why this campaign is so vital. Based on a survey of cleaning grades members this report shows the real impact of the cost of living crisis on our cleaning keyworkers. You can see our press release here: https://bit.ly/3DDyFO0

 

We are an all-grades industrial union and we stand together with our cleaning grades members. Please do all you can to help them win their crucial ballot.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
