RMT Prepares For Sodexo Ballot To Defend Dismissed Brother Petrit

From RMT Senior Assistant General Secretary Mick Cash

DISMISSAL, PETRIT MIHAJ – SODEXO (LUL/4/4)

I write to advise branches that our representative Brother Petrit Mihaj has been dismissed by the Sodexo. The General Grades Committee believes this sacking by Sodexo is due to victimisation for his trade union activities. I have advised the company that we are in dispute over this issue, and that we intend to ballot members concerned for industrial action in order to achieve justice for Brother Mihaj.

RMT Congratulates Reps And Activists Who Recruited Over Half Of Sodexo Workers As Members

We instruct the General Secretary to ensure that the recognition agreement with Sodexo is signed as soon a practical, with details regarding representation, constituencies etc completed in line with our representatives’ wishes. We congratulate our representatives and activists for their very hard work in achieving 50%+ membership in difficult circumstances, and instruct the General Secretary to ensure that a pay and conditions claim is drafted and placed in front of us, and that we pursue a renewed recruitment campaign following the confirmation of recognition.
