RMT Head Office Circular No. IR/18/09 - 29th January 2009 DISMISSAL OF BRENDAN JUDGE – CBS OUTDOOR NOTICE OF BALLOT FOR INDUSTRIAL ACTION

As RMT members you would have more likely heard of the disgraceful decision by CBS Outdoor to sack Union Representative, Brendan Judge, just before Christmas. CBS Outdoor members are understandably very angry about what has happened and have demanded action to get Brendan reinstated.

It is our firm belief that Brendan has done nothing wrong other than work to normal practices that all other members work to.

Resolution: Procedure to be Followed before Representing Members

Finsbury Park has submitted the following resolution to the January meeting of the Regional Council, but withdrew it during the debate.

In order to guarantee only members of the R.M.T. union are represented, the following procedure must be adhered to by all representatives (Reps) of the branch.

Step 1

When a member of staff approaches the local Rep requiring representation, the Rep first explains to the individual that they (the Rep) need to contact the R.M.T. head office membership department to ensure the individual is in benefit, and therefore, a member of the union.
