Telent / MJ Quinns

We note the report from our Regional Organiser, and that MJ Quinn is refusing to recognise RMT for those employees transferred from Emcor, despite this union’s recognition for these members when they worked for Emcor.

In accordance with our Regional Organiser’s request, we instruct the General Secretary to obtain and place in front of us legal advice on the collective bargaining and recognition arrangements being transferred from Emcor to MJ Quinn under the TUPE regulations.

We note the resolutions from our LU Engineering branch, and in line with these, we instruct the General Secretary to:

• cancel the ballot of our members on this MJ Quinn contract
• advise our members of this decision
• keep our ballot of our members on Telent in suspension
