Further industrial action from train cleaners

9:49am Thursday 4th October 2012 in News

CLEANERS at Transpennine Express services, who took part in a 24-hour strike over pay on Monday, have pledged not to work on rest days or do any overtime until October 15.

The RMT union members work for contractors Carlisle. RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: “It is an absolute scandal that Carlisle continue to refuse to make any kind of reasonable offer to tackle the issue of poverty pay and poor working conditions.”

I'd be interested to learn what Bob Crow (who is paid over £140,000 pa yet lives in a Housing Association house) considers to be 'poverty pay'.

Don't tell me, they are going to actually clean trains as part of the protest?

I'd wonder if they were in the country legally first and foremost however it's a moot point because as a responsible socialist he wouldn't have domestic staff as that promotes class inequality.
