Hope to see members from all functions on the cleaners demo at Parliament tomorrow.
The demonstration will take place on Wednesday 29 January at 13:00 opposite Old Palace Yard at the Houses of Parliament.
I recently attended a meeting with RMT's parliamentary group where the MPs agreed to write to the London Mayor in support of our demands that the Mayor immediately grants staff travel facilities to all cleaners.
Attached is a copy of the Neasden Branch meeting dates for 2020. The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 15th January. Please make every effort to attend.
On Monday, members of the TUC Disabled Workers' Committee met informally to discuss fighting back following the election of a majority Conservative government.
A vacancy currently exists for a Union Learning Rep - Met South area. If you are interested in applying for this vacancy please attend the next branch meeting, or let the Branch Secretary know before then.
At our next Branch Meeting on Friday 13th December, we will be seeking delegates to represent us at the TUC Congress 2020, The RMT Disabled Members Conference, The RMT Black and Ethnic Minority Members Conference, The RMT LGBT+ Conference, and the TUC LGBT+ Conference.
If you are interested in attending any of these events then please attend the next Branch Meeting to nominate yourself, or if you cannot attend, ask your local Rep to nominate for you.
Great work by the local reps and the East Ham Branch
In the wake of unprecedented violence against staff on LUL on the east end of the district line our comrades put on industrial action to say no more
We are not prepared to accept being assaulted at work
The incident at West Ham vindicated this position
Attacks on our members are unacceptable
If LU do not resolve to put this right we are prepared to escalate our action
The attacks on our members across the combine must mark the end of lone working
Please note that Neasden Branch supports Eddie Dempsey for Relief Regional Organiser - South.
Please note, that due to refurbishment, The Torch will not be available for the Neasden Branch meeting in August. An alternative venue has been sourced by the Branch Secretary. It will be held at The Cock Tavern in King’s Cross (see attached flyer for full details). Apolgies for any inconvenience.
CARRYING OUT OUR 2019 PLAN
An agreement from SFC dated 2005
Whilst LUL managers may deny these agreements there’s no doubt they exist.
They just don’t like sharing.
The SFC 2019 have, at the request of our reps, re-issued the following advice.
It’s important we make them stick to agreements made with the RMT
