Tyne and Wear Metro cleaners win at Industrial Tribunal

After 2 weeks of strike action this summer, metro cleaners in RMT have won an industrial tribunal recognising they have been illegally underpaid.

There dispute over low pay and crap conditions conditions, but the strike action, protests and legal action taken by RMT looks like it is forcing the bosses to negotiate.

Watch this space for more information.

And the workers have continued to put pressure on councillors demanding they hold the contractors to the councils policy of Living Wage in Newcastle (see photo)
