CONDITIONS FOR CLEANERS EMPLOYED ON LONDON UNDERGROUND

I was very pleased to propose this resolution at RMT's AGM. I had written it as a response to the collapse in Labour's vote in the May 1 local elections, when Boris Johnson won the London Mayor's job for the Tories and Labour Councillors around the country had to clear their desks in the Town Hall. My branch, Stratford no.1, discussed and agreed it, and thus it found its way to the union's AGM as an emergency resolution.

Delegates to RMT's Annual General Meeting last week unanimously agreed the following resolution, which had been submitted by the union's Stratford no.1 branch.

This union notes the disastrous results for the Labour Party in the May 1st elections. We believe that working class voters have deserted the Labour Party because it has abandoned working class people through its policies of cuts, privatisation, war and lining the pockets of the rich at the expense of the poor and low paid.

We are also appalled at the advances made by the fascist BNP in these elections.

Buffoon Boris Johnson’s London Mayoral campaign is well and truly underway and guess who BoJo sees as his public enemy number one?

Is it the fat cats like Metronet who cream millions from Londoners then go bust leaving the public to pick up the bill? Nope. Is it the private companies who will rake in trillions from the Olympic contracts while the tax payer foots the bill? Nope.

Unfortunately, BoJo the Buffoon sees himself as some kind of 21st Century Maggie Thatcher and has decided that RMT-bashing is a vote winner for him.
