ISS Cleaners Reps Meeting To Discuss Near 4% Pay Rise

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – ISS (TUBE LINES AP JNP CONTRACT) (LUL/0001/ISS(TL))

In line with Union policy, a claim was submitted for a substantial increase in rates of pay and improvements to conditions of service. The Company then advised that it has implemented the changes to the London Living Wage with effect from 1st April 2015. As a result, all Operatives’ pay was increased from £8.80 per hour to the new minimum rate of £9.15 per hour, which is a 3.97% increase.

In addition, to maintain the differentials between grades, all Supervisors received pay increases between 1.3% (the rate that was applied across the ISS Office/Salaried personnel) to 3.68%, with all lower paid Supervisors receiving the full 3.68% increase. There is some disparity with Supervisors who TUPE’d in previously at higher rates and this award will also assist in closing the gap.

This matter has been considered by the General Grades Committee, which has taken the decision to organise a meeting with our Reps to ascertain whether or not the offer is acceptable. I am currently acting in accordance with this decision and will keep you advised of all further developments.
