ISS Increases London Living Wage 6 Months Late

Submitted by Admin on 10 April, 2013 - 18:02

We note that a meeting is to take place with ISS on 18 April and instruct the General Secretary to place a report of this meeting in front of us.

We further note that ISS intends to only pay the uprated level of the London Living Wage six months after the uprating is announced, and claims that this is allowed for in its contract. We are appalled by this, which means in practice that our members are expected to live on less than a living wage for 50% of their lives.

Unity Is Strength: RMT Forms Alliance With US 'Transport Workers Union'

Submitted by rmtlondon on 5 April, 2013 - 14:24

The Transport Workers Union of America (TWU) and the UK-based National Union of Rail, Maritime, and Transport Workers (RMT) announced today that both unions have agreed to a "Trans-Atlantic Alliance," to cooperate on safety issues; launch joint campaigns targeting employers in-common; and advance a global strategy promoting the right of workers to organise unions and bargain to improve their working lives.

The alliance will send shivers down the spine of union-hostile operators like First Group and Stagecoach who have major operations in both the UK and north America.
