RMT Head Office Circular No. IR/18/09 - 29th January 2009 CLAIM FOR PARITY PAYMENTS – EDF POWERLINK NOTICE OF FURTHER STRIKE ACTION
Further strike action has been called in support of the above dispute. I am informed that this follows direct consultation with RMT members concerned and that this has their backing.
Members have been instructed as follows:
TO NOT book-on for any turns of duty between the following dates and times:
Deadline for return of papers in ballot of CBS Outdoor members for industrial action to demand the reinstatement of Brendan Judge.
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.

Management - and politicians - would have us believe that because of the economic crisis, we should settle for a lower pay rise. The opposite is true: in these difficult economic times, we need a decent pay rise more than ever.
