As we are all aware our cleaner grade members had a 24 hr strike from 1850 on Thursday 26th June. Firstly I would like to congratulate our brothers and sisters who took part despite unprecedented threats and intimidation from the cleaning companies management and in spite of the poisonous lies spread by the T&G.

RMT press release, issued today

THE POVERTY wages paid to London Underground cleaners are indefensible, their union says today as 700 RMT members working for four cleaning subcontractors prepare to begin their first-ever strike at 18:50 tonight.

Attempts to kick-start talks at Acas last night came to nothing as the employers made no effort to negotiate.

Your RMT Safety Council reps have produced this leaflet to support the cleaners and to explain the possible safety implications of their strike action.

RMT press release issued today

MORE THAN 700 RMT Tube cleaners working for four private contractors are to be balloted for strike action to win the London living wage and decent working conditions, including 28 days' holiday, sick pay, decent pensions and travel facilities.

The union is also demanding an end to the barbaric practice of 'third-party sackings' in which cleaners can be dismissed, with no disciplinary hearing or right of appeal, at the behest parties other than the employer - a device used to get rid of union activists.

London Underground station staff work alongside station cleaners. They are vital to our stations, yet there are not enough of them, and the contractors employ them on low pay and unpleasant, unsafe conditions. Station staff can help cleaners to win better treatment - and cleaner, nicer stations for all of us.

Here, Becky Crocker and Adrian Finney give some ideas about how you can support the cleaners. Becky and Adrian are both station staff who have taken on responsibility within their RMT branches for helping organise and support cleaners.

The first issue of our RMT Platform newsletter tells station staff why and how they should support Tube cleaners. It also reports on the union's campaign against de-staffing of stations, threatened displacement of Rickmansworth CSAs, a public meeting against ticket office closures in Chesham, the latest strike day for Bakerloo line detrainment staff, and our monthly meetings for station and revenue staff.
