RMT Opposed To Fingerprinting of Cleaner Members

Submitted by Admin on 19 December, 2012 - 16:45

We note the report from our Regional Organiser as to the current situation with Initial’s use of fingerprinting for booking on. Although this is to be ‘voluntary’, with the alternative being telephone booking-on, we continue to oppose the installation of the machines and insist that cleaners book on with the person in charge of the workplace where they are due to work.
