CBS Outdoor Members To Be Balloted For Strike Action Following Derisory Pay Offer
Submitted by admin on 2 May, 2012 - 02:12
That we note the offer from CBS Outdoor of a 1.5% pay rise and a £500 Olympics bonus.
We support our Regional Organiser’s view that this offer is derisory and comes nowhere near meeting our aspirations. We therefore instruct the General Secretary to:
- Immediately conduct a ballot of all our CBS Outdoor members for strike action andaction short of strike
- Set timescales for this ballot which enable co-ordination with other disputes in the London Transport region, so long as this is practical and does not unnecessarily delay action in any dispute
- Send a personal letter to all members urging them to vote Yes.
London Transport Regional Council and Camden 3 branch to be advised.
