1. RECRUITMENT AND ORGANISATION:
As he was unable to attend the meeting in person, Dave Rayfield submitted the following written report:
On the days that we’ve been out talking to the membership it has, in my opinion, been a resounding success.
EDF RMT members are incensed with a pay offer of around only 1% with productivity. Since the announcement of an overwhelming ballot result in favour of action no improved offer has been forthcoming.
Meanwhile, RMT members on the Willesden Green Group have returned a magnificent vote in favour of industrial action in support of the reinstatement of their colleague, Colleen Johnston.
Venue: Indian YMCA, Fitzroy Square, nearest station: Warren Street - map here.
Show your support for RMT’s fight for jobs, pay and justice!
