Canteen Strike Begins Next Monday

Submitted by Admin on 1 August, 2014 - 18:35

Branches will be well aware of the case of Brother Petrit Mihaj who was dismissed by Sodexo earlier this year. An Employment Tribunal has ruled that he was unfairly dismissed for his Trade Union Activities but despite winning, there is unfortunately no obligation on the company to reinstate him. The judgement was scathing of the treatment he has received and pointed out numerous failings by the Company during the investigation and suspension leading to this unfair dismissal.

Attached is a pdf that explains the importance of defending sacked RMT rep Petrit Mihaj
Remember , Petrit has won an Employment Tribunal against his employer who attached no blame whatsoever to Petrit.
Sodexo have dismissed Petrit solely because he was a RMT rep carrying out legitimate trade union activities
Sodexo should do the decent thing and reinstate him immediately

Functional reps from both RMT & TSSA will be on a walkabout across the whole combine next Thursday and Friday, Aug 7 & 8th.

I am asking all local reps/activists to try and come along in their area to assist in us talking to as many people as possible.

We need to bolster support, build confidence and understand the strength of feeling on the ground for any future possible industrial action.

I appreciate it is short notice but if you are able to help out please let me know.
Contact me by email or text.

RMT Opposed To Fit for the Future Supervisor Training

Submitted by rmtlondon on 29 July, 2014 - 19:26

RMT reps at the Fit for the Future Joint Working Party have raised our opposition to this process. There is no agreement with any trade union to proceed with these development events. However, LU has imposed this process as it starts to implement Fit for the Future while refusing to enter into meaningful negotiations.

Canteen Workers To Strike For Unfairly Sacked Rep Brother Mihaj

Submitted by rmtlondon on 28 July, 2014 - 17:01

Further to my last letter, RMT members at Sodexo voted in favour of industrial action in defence of Petrit Mihaj, your RMT Rep and Activist who has been so disgracefully victimised and sacked by your employer.

An Employment Tribunal has totally vindicated Petrit and ruled he had been unfairly dismissed for his trade union activities. These trade union activities involved supporting, organising and representing RMT members at Sodexo, trying to ensure you are all fairly treated by a bullying employer.
