Cleaners: organising plan

Our cleaning grade vice-chair has drafted the following proposal for an organising strategy for cleaners. It will be discussed in detail at the Regional Council Executive meeting on 9 November.

1. Let cleaners know what is happening with ISS & Initial

2. Go out any recruit cleaners from all shifts and both companies

3.Explain what we can do for cleaners

4. Get cleaners to stand for reps as we are short of them

5. Tell cleaners what both companies are doing to the grade and the union

6. Go back to grass roots and start afresh for the cleaners & the reps

7. Make it clear that the union is there for the cleaners

8. Let them know we won't put up with victimisation & third-party sackings

9. Let them know we won't put up with companies bulling their staff and handing them more work as they won't take on any new staff
