What is a National Executive Committee decision?

This article is an 'executive decision' which has been written by the RMT National Executive Committee. The National Executive is the union's governing body in between AGMs. Its decisions set out what the union will do on a particular issue.

These decisions can often be brief, and may be one of several passed over a period of time. To get a better understanding or find out more information about what the RMT is doing, speak to your rep or attend your branch or Regional Council meeting.

ISS Cleaners Pay & Conditions 2012

We instruct all members on this contract to take strike action by not booking on for any duties starting at or after 05:30 on Friday 30 November and to return to duties starting at or after 05:30 on Sunday 2 December.

We instruct the General Secretary to:

  • send a personal letter by post to all members involved, explaining this action.
  • email our London Underground members, urging their support for this action.

We note that several other cleaning workforces are campaigning for better pay and conditions, including at the British Museum, Barbican, Tower of London, John Lewis and University of London. We instruct the General Secretary to contact the unions involved, with a view to co-ordination and mutual support.

We instruct the General Secretary to arrange for a short film to be made of the strike action on all contracts, including footage of rallies, pickets, and cleaners speaking about their conditions. This is to be shown on RMTv and promoted via YouTube and other social media.

We refer to the Council of Executives the issue of payments from the Disputes Fund for these members.

Regional Councils and branches to be advised.
