Mitie's Unacceptable Position Leads RMT To Ballot Members For Strike Action

We note the correspondence on file.

We regret that in recent talks, the employer did not change its unacceptable position at all, and accordingly, we instruct the General Secretary to proceed with the ballot for strike action and action short of strikes as specified in our Decision Gww 26 February 2013. The ballot is to start immediately and conclude during the week commencing Monday 6 May.

We note that RMT has drafted a proposal to Mitie which would avoid redundancies among these building maintenance workers, but that the employer has refused to consider running a trial of this proposal.

This union demands that the company agree to this trial, and also agrees to keep these employees on their current rosters, terms and conditions.

We further note the legal advice on file. Accordingly, we instruct the General Secretary to prepare a legal claim for Unfair Dismissal and/or Protective Award should any member be issued with notice of redundancy.

London Transport Regional Council and branches to be advised.
