Wot No Pay Rise?

Posted in Tubeworker's blog on ,

Interserve staff have received letters from the company informing them that the increase in their pay review, already a fortnight late, has been pushed back from 1 July to 1 October. They have told staff they intend to implement a 2.5% increase from 1 October, but with no backpay to 1 July, the date staff should have had the increment.

Interserve's reasons for doing this are remarkably thin gruel. They cite "significant financial headwinds" - whatever the hell that means.

In reality, a penny-pinching cowboy employer has decided to screw staff out of three months' pay rise, which the company can pocket for itself, plus interest.

RMT must urgently discuss how to respond to this outrageous attack on cleaning workers, and should fight back using any means necessary.
