Outsourcing is a racket.
It's time the Labour government kept their promise to deliver the ‘biggest wave of insourcing for a generation’.

[RMT @RMTunion]

RMT General Secretary Eddie Dempsey: "We want to see all our members on the railway receive the same benefits of public ownership and this includes outsourced workers."

The Union will be issuing ballot papers over Amey Rail/Consulting 2025 pay offer for this year.

We must ensure everyone returns their ballot papers or we will fall foul of the tory Ant Trade Union legislation. Please make sure you have your say

Appreciate other branches retweet

@UKLabour promised the "biggest wave of insourcing in a generation."
Cleaners on c2c are ready.
The contract is public.

The time is now.

Bidvest Noonan made headlines this year by offering 1 week of sick pay — but only if you're dying.
The same company is managing this mess at @TfL on the DLR and @c2c_Rail.

[RMT @RMTunion]

Workers have no PPE in their size.
They clean vomit, toilets, and waste with gloves that don’t fit.

This is a basic health hazard.

It wouldn’t be allowed in any hospital or school. So why is it happening on our public railway?

🧼 PUBLIC RAILWAY, PRIVATE FILTH

Outsourced cleaners employed by @BidvestNoonan are washing mops BY HAND and drying them in bin rooms — because @c2c_Rail won’t fix a washing machine.

🚨 63% of public transport workers experienced violence at work last year.
85% were attacked more than once.
Many thanks to @MartinRhodes21 for raising this vital issue at #PMQs

Newport Branch was in attendance at the @RMTunion Branch & Regional Secretaries Conference, held at the Inverness Caledonian Thistle Social Club.

Another successful conference, with wonderful, hardworking people.

Sending love and solidarity to everyone. 🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛

Why is it that Reform vote against empowering the working class?

It’s simple.

Whilst they masquerade as a party for ordinary people, they are a cheap and nasty Thatcher tribute act. Our communities were destroyed by the original, now Reform are trying to push us back again.

Like to remind @LordPeterHendy of how important ticket offices are for blind, partially sighted, disabled & older people as explained by @newdawn75 the day after @RishiSunak Government had to u-turn on the proposed closure of train tickets offices in England on 31st October 2023.

How the P&O seafarers found out they didn’t have a job anymore 3years ago today…. Pre recorded video on a phone! Note also the captain had no idea as he’s sat with the crew watching! ⁦@RMTunion⁩ ⁦@KarlTurnerMP⁩
