NSSN 354: Support #Sept4 strike day! John McDonnell to speak at Sept10 NSSN TUC Rally!

This summer has seen a real wave of strike action and in the last two weeks some welcome victories – by Birmingham and Doncaster binworkers and Glasgow janitors. But if the first few days of the autumn are anything to go by, workers are determined to take action against attacks on their pensions and to defend their jobs and increasingly to fight for a pay rise to protect their living standards.

The NSSN is again organising a rally at the TUC Congress in Brighton on Sunday September 10th. Over 5 million public sector workers have seen their income plummet because of the Tory pay cap. Our rally will bring together the leaders of some of the most militant unions with union reps and activists from the many disputes that have broken out this summer. We are delighted to announce that Labour Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell is confirmed to speak as well!

Amongst these will be the Barts NHS Trust strike on their 25th day of action next Monday. They will be joined in our rally and on September 4th by BFAWU McDonald’s workers in Cambridge and Crayford, walking out for the first time in the UK. But also out on that day will be RMT members fighting Driver Only Operation (DOO) on Southern Rail, Merseyrail and Arrive Trains North. And it will be the penultimate day of a 3 week strike by Argos warehouse workers.

This action shows the support that pay strikes across the public sector would get from workers everywhere who are suffering at the moment. It’s time to fight together!

 

It’s on! Get behind the 4 September #McStrikeMcDonald’s workers balloted at Crayford (south east London) and Cambridge stores have voted by an incredible 95.7 percent for strikes, and their BFAWU bakers’ union has now named Monday 4 September as the first strike day. A strike committee of workers met and decided to go for the date for their historic action–the first ever strike at McDonald’s in the UK. The workers taking this bold step need the URGENT solidarity of the wider trade union movement. Please give generously now to their strike fund HERE. Please also rush messages of support, encouragement and solidarity for the workers to [email protected]

McStrike logo

This Saturday 2 September, two days before the strike, BFAWU is holding a protest at McDonald’s HQ in East Finchley, north London. We are calling on solidarity from the wider movement on this day, with banners, collections etc, brought along in support. On the day of the strike, Monday 4 September, workers at the Cambridge site will picket from 6 – 7am, while workers at the Crayford site will picket from 6 – 7.30am. The strikers and their supporters will then come together outside Parliament at 10.30/11am for a rally including confirmed special guests to be announced, including Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell. Stay posted for details of what will be happening after the rally. We are asking for maximum support possible with banners and supporters gathering at the rally, and for local activists and anyone who can to show their support at picket lines where possible too. Outside London, we are calling for solidarity protests/leafleting at McDonald’s stores in localities. For guidance for solidarity actions on the day, a model motion etc read more on BFAWU Fast Food Rights website which the NSSN is part of

After meeting with Metro Mayor over Merseyrail dispute fails to make progress RMT asks “which side are you on?” (Aug 30) – RAIL UNION RMT has today thrown out the question to Labour politicians across Merseyside “Which side are you on?”, after talks with Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram and Merseytravel officials failed to make any progress in advance of the next three day phase of strike action in the guards’ dispute which kicks off on Friday. RMT officials, led by General Secretary Mick Cash, met with Steve Rotheram along with Merseytravel officials Liam Robinson and Frank Rogers yesterday.  The union has said that it is bitterly disappointed that the talks failed to make any progress as it was confirmed in stark terms that the axing of guards on Merseyrail is entirely finance led at a time when the private rail operator is awash with cash read more

Unite announces crane strike at HTC Wolffkran (29 Aug) – Widespread disruption of construction sites across the UK is anticipated after Unite, the UK’s largest construction union, announced the first strike date at tower crane company HTC Wolffkran, in a dispute over pay. The initial 24 hour strike on Friday 8 September has been called as Unite was ‘left with no option’ when the company refused to return to the negotiating table. HTC Wolffkran is the largest tower crane company in the UK and the strike will cause widespread disruption on many major projects including the new stadium being built by Tottenham Hotspur. Members voted for strike action after the company refused to continue negotiations and imposed a two year deal on the workers of a three per cent pay increase in both years and increasing annual leave to the standard industry level. The imposed pay increase is a cut in real terms as the retail price index (RPI) is currently 3.6 per cent read more

Writing to Alex Cruz, the boss of British Airways, Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said: “You will be aware that we have not issued any further notice for strike action which will currently end on 30 August. “This is in order to create a ‘pause for peace’ so that our respective teams can get around the table with a view to securing a mutually accepted resolution to the current dispute. “Given the nature and length of the dispute I am more than willing to involve myself in any future talks with you and would ask that the company looks at a number of dates from 31 August onwards.” read more.

PCS

Stop DWP office closures:-

Hoylake jobcentre strike underlines human cost of office closure (25 Aug) – The human cost of closing Hoylake Jobcentre was highlighted today (25) by a well-supported strike by PCS members taking action against the closure of their office. The removal of this vital service from the community is part of the DWP strategy to close more than 100 offices over the next 5 years, with many jobcentres and other offices closing by March next year. Today’s closure in Hoylake will leave the community without a jobcentre that has been based in its current location since 2000, and will force the public to travel over 4 miles if they need to visit the office. The strike has been supported by 100% of the members in Hoylake and has sent a strong message to the department, with excellent support from other union branches, local activists and members of the PCS DWP group executive committee. Send messages of support to Martin Cavanagh at [email protected] read more

31 August: join PCS Home Office, MOJ and HMRC payday protests – PCS is holding protests across the UK on 31 August calling for the 1% public sector pay cap to be scrapped on the day that the Home Office and Ministry of Justice plan to impose the cap for another 12 months. On 31 July, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) imposed the cap on employees for another 12 months. Just four weeks later on 31 August, the Home Office and MOJ plan to keep the 1% cap on their own pay award. This means that by 31 August, 3 of the largest departments in Whitehall will have delivered yet another real-terms cut in pay to their staff. Seven years of pay restraint, including the ongoing cap, have been highly damaging for many public sector workers read more

West End theatre workers seek 9% pay rise (22 Aug) – Theatre workers in London’s commercial West End are seeking a 9% pay rise in the pay review due in October. The ambitious pay claim is justified, says BECTU, by “the steady increase in the cost of living with RPI currently standing at 3.7%, with an anticipation that it will continue to rise throughout the year.” The pay claim for 2017/18, submitted in June, comes as the previous three-year deal draws to a close read more

The company have refused independent conciliation and have sacked four union reps at the Ritzy cinema in an attempt to undermine staff action. Picturehouse owners Cineworld made £93 million profit in 2016, while the CEO’s total pay package was worth over £2.5 million. They can afford to pay their staff properly.

Blacklist Support Group update – 30th August 2017

  1. Blacklisting debate in parliament 5th September 2017 – 1:30pm Westminster Hall Houses of Parliament

Blacklisting will be debated again by MPs in parliament in September after Chuka Umunna secured a Westminster Hall debate. This parliamentary procedure will last around 90 minutes and allows Chuka and other MPs who attend to ask questions of the government minister. This is an excellent opportunity to contact your own MP to ask them to attend the debate and raise issues such as ongoing contemporary blacklisting, a public inquiry or why public sector contracts are still being awarded to blacklist firms.

Roy Bentham, BSG joint secretary and blacklisted carpenter from Merseyside commented:

“Despite the human rights conspiracy being exposed in the High Court, blacklisting has never gone away. Many union members continue to be barred from major construction projects right now in 2017. As someone who fell foul of contemporary blacklisting recently by Carillion on the Liverpool Royal Hospital, this parliamentary debate is most welcome. But the time for talking is over, what we need is action”.

Blacklist Support Group will be attending – assemble 12:30pm outside the public entrance to parliament for any press photos etc..

Please Note: Westminster Hall debates take place in the Grand Committee Room off of Westminster Hall, NOT the chamber of the House of Commons.
