RMT: Eurostar cleaners strike over pay, jobs and bullying (18.9.09)

RMT CLEANERS working on the Eurostar contract for the Carlisle Group at St Pancras International are rock solid in their support for a 48 hour strike.

The cleaners - who are fighting a pay freeze, a threat of redundancies, the introduction of Orwellian finger-printing machines and the victimisation of a union rep mounted a noisy mass picket at St Pancras International.
Carlisle Group have recruited a temporary, scab workforce on a higher rate of pay to try and break the RMT strike. Despite that, trains had to be sent back to the depot last night to try and get them cleaned for this morning.
