REDUNDANCIES – JARVIS
Our Jarvis members put on a magnificent show of solidarity during the strike action they took last weekend. This industrial action had a huge impact on the company as it had to cancel a large number of work it had planned during that time.
As it stands, there has still been no progress made on our demands for no compulsory redundancies and for a full 90-day consultation period. That is why our Jarvis members will once again be taking strike action next weekend and I am asking them not to book on for any shifts which commence between 06.00 hours on Saturday 11th July and 06.00 hours on Monday 13th July 2009.
I would urge everyone to do all they can to support this strike action and to make sure that members at other on-track and renewals companies do not take on the work which our Jarvis members would normally carry out. I would also hope that non-RMT staff at Jarvis would respect their colleagues who are taking industrial action and not carry out the work usually done by RMT members.
Everything possible should be done to support our Jarvis members through this very troubling time and to help them get the message to management to enter meaningful and constructive discussions with your union. We have to put a stop to the jobs massacre taking place in this company and, by taking industrial action, I am sure our Jarvis members can help to achieve this.
Yours sincerely
Bob Crow
General Secretary
