Interserve DLR Members To Be Balloted In pay Dispute

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – INTERSERVE FACILITIES (KEOLIS AMEY DOCKLANDS CONTRACT) (DLR/0001/I(KAD))

In line with Union policy, a claim was submitted for a substantial increase in rates of pay and improvements to conditions of service. Following discussions with the Company, a report was received from the Lead Officer along with further correspondence from the Branch Secretary, advising that the Company has failed to resolve several issues which have been outstanding for many months.

This matter was considered by the General Grades Committee and I have now advised the Company that a dispute situation exists between us and we will be balloting members for strike action over a failure to maintain the pay differentials between grades, non-payment and/or underpayment of wages, an unacceptable delay in issuing set hours contracts of employment and rosters and a failure to issue staff payslips in hard copy.

The ballot papers will be posted to members on Thursday 23rd April and the closing date for this ballot is Tuesday 12th May 2015. I will keep Branches advised of all further developments.
