To: All ABM (LUL Cleaning Contract)

Dear RMT Member,

On 2nd June, your RMT Reps and Lead Officer attended the ABM JNB (Joint Negotiating Body). This is a forum where your Reps can raise matters that affect all divisions with Directors and Senior ABM Management.

Your Reps discussed a number of important issues and I have outlined the outcomes reached at the meeting below.

 

Problems with getting Contractor Staff Passes renewed

ABM Pay Claim 2025

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2025 - ABM (LU CLEANING CONTRACT) (LUL/0001/ABM)

In line with Union policy, a claim was submitted for a substantial increase in rates of pay and improvements to conditions of service. The Lead Officer has submitted a report, along with correspondence from ABM, stating it is unwilling to discuss our pay claim as members have already received an increase this year in line with the London Living Wage uplift.
