Opposing victimisation
Stop the victimisation of RMT young members activist Jayesh Patel!
Submitted by Joffe on 12 March, 2013 - 11:01
The Bakerloo Branch agreed the following resolution for the attention of the RMT's General Grades Committee.
“This branch notes the appalling treatment of our young member and activist Brother Jayesh Patel at the hands of LU. Bro Patel was acting in the interests of safety when he requested ‘assisted despatch’ at two overcrowded stations on 1st of February 2013. This branch is amazed that as a result of carrying out these actions he was told to detrain and run out of service. Worse still he was instructed to attend a location away from his home depot to participate in a fact finding. Unfortunately the fact finding interview turned into a Gestapo interrogation where our member was denied the right to ask questions, denied the right to have physical break and denied to go home after his booking off time. Worse, this branch notes that since this time LU have added insult to injury and have stood down him down from that date.

RMT View Initial's Plans For Fingerprinting Workers As An Attack On Civil Liberties And A Tool For Victimisation
Submitted by admin on 2 September, 2012 - 22:26We note the reply from Initial, that this is a group wide initiative from Initial Facilities to implement the Kronos Time and Attendance System into all contracts by end of 2012, with both biometric and telephone systems in operation. We also note the views of our representatives, who strongly oppose this move, rightly seeing it as an attack on their civil liberties and a weapon for management to use to victimise our members.
We therefore instruct the General Secretary to:
1. Urgently contact Initial management demanding a meeting to discuss our objections.
RMT Will Do All In Its Power To Defend Canteen Rep Petrit Mihaj Following His Success At An Employment Tribunal
Submitted by admin on 15 June, 2012 - 08:19
We welcome the success of our representative Petrit Mihaj in winning the return of his deducted sick pay at Employment Tribunal. This vindicates our decision to pursue this case. We further note that Brother Mihaj and his representative are making constructive efforts to arrange his return to work.
However, following more than six months of suspension, Sodexho has now charged Petrit with misconduct, despite there having been no complaint made against him.
Bakerloo Driver Victimization Case Resolved
Submitted by admin on 15 June, 2012 - 08:07We note the report from our Bakerloo Line branch secretary, advising that this matter has now been resolved to the satisfaction of Brother Protheroe and his representatives.
We thank the branch for its prompt and effective actions on this case, and agree with the branch secretary that without a strong trade union position on this matter, LU may have reverted to type with their previous policies of victimising RMT reps and activists.
London Transport Regional Council and branches to be advised.
