Balloting closes on Thursday for industrial action on the Docklands Light Railway - both for Serco Docklands staff and for cleaners and security guards employed by Carlisle. In other words, both the contractor and the contractor's contractor!
The Serco dispute is about a range of workplace problems, including the use of agency staff. The Carlisle dispute is about poverty pay levels. Different issues, but they both come from the same root - the employers trying to drive down costs to maximise profits while funding is cut.
When the results come in - with a certain Yes majority - RMT should call action co-ordinated with that on London Underground and TfL. Together, we can make a massive impact. United, we can win.
