Docklands Light Railway (RMT) Strike Calendar

Outsourced cleaners operating on the Docklands Light Railway are planning to strike and hold a protest at the Transport for London Board meeting.

The industrial action intends to increase pressure on the local Mayor to fulfill commitments regarding bringing cleaning services back in-house.

The protest occurs at City Hall and relates to ongoing issues concerning the denial of appropriate company sick pay for these cleaners.

Allegations of bullying behavior from local management are also a central part of the dispute.

Reports indicate that some union members, despite hospitalization due to illness, have received no sick pay or employer support.

Cleaners have reportedly been informed that sick pay consideration is limited to extremely rare situations, such as terminal illness.

Simultaneously, a new five-year cleaning contract covering thousands of workers was awarded to an outsourcing firm, despite previous supportive statements regarding insourcing.

Supporters demand the termination of the current contract, an early insourcing timetable for all TfL cleaners, and a formal inquiry into corporate influence over contracting decisions.
