Back Dated Pay Rises For Cleaners & Security Workers Still Short Of London Living Wage

We note the report from our Regional Organise. We note that the employer has confirmed a backdated pay increase of 3% for security staff and 5% for cleaners. We congratulate our members on winning this pay rise through our campaign of industrial action and persistent negotiation.

However, this increase still does not bring pay rates up to the London Living Wage. We instruct the Regional Organiser to continue to press for improvements in these members' pay and conditions.

We are appalled that while the Mayor of London claims that all workers under his auspices are paid the London Living Wage, this is not the case. We therefore instruct the General Secretary to organise a publicity campaign and a series of protests aimed at exposing this and applying pressure to deliver the London Living Wage. These protest should be arranged in conjunction with our Docklands Light Railway branch and should include targeting some of the high-profile venues and events that are served by the Docklands Light Railway.

Reports and developments are to be placed in front of us.

London Transport Regional Council and branches to be advised. DLR branch and our representatives on this contract to be advised by personal letter.
