Organisation, Recruitment And Retention: National Strategy For Justice For Cleaners In The Transport Industry

"We welcome the positive response so far to our call for nationally-coordinated industrial action of our current disputes with cleaning companies"

We welcome the positive response so far to our call for nationally-coordinated industrial action of our current disputes with cleaning companies.

We instruct the General Secretary to convene a meeting of GGC members with lead officers and representatives of the current disputes involving cleaners as soon as is practical, to discuss plans for co-ordinated industrial action in line with our previous decisions. A report of this meeting to be placed in front of the GGC promptly after the meeting.

This is to be followed by a double-page spread in RMT News about cleaners, the issues they face, and the current disputes, and advertising the launch meeting of a National Forum for Cleaners. This meeting is to take place in Doncaster. GGC members, lead officers and cleaning grade representatives are expected to attend the National Forum, and all cleaning grade members will also be welcome. A report of this meeting is to be placed in front of the GGC within seven days of it taking place.

Regional Councils, branches and cleaning grade representatives to be advised.
