RMT To Ballot Cubic Transportation Members For Strike Action Following Paltry Pay Offer
Submitted by admin on 18 April, 2012 - 22:55 declare a dispute with the company
ballot our members for strike action and action short of a strike
support and resource a recruitment campaign to run parallel with the ballot
arrange the production of a leaflet for recruitment purposes containing our demands
seek the assistance of our London Underground stations representatives in ensuring
that these leaflets are displayed and distributed in all station booking-on points and
ticket offices
We note the report from our Regional Organiser, who met with Cubic Transportation services
today to discuss our pay claim and an Olympic bonus. The company:
- was not prepared to give an Olympic bonus
- offered a paltry 2.5 % pay rise
- rejected totally our claims for a shorter working week
We note that some staff are still on a 37.5 hour week, while some are on 35 hours. Rates of
pay vary, with many people on individual contracts who receive no pay rise. Many staff do
not have free travel and get no travel allowance.
We accept our Regional Organiser’s recommendations, and therefore instruct the General
Secretary to:
that these leaflets are displayed and distributed in all station booking-on points and
ticket offices
London Transport Regional Council, our Cubic representative, Stations & Revenue Grades
Committee officers and all branches with London Underground members to be advised
