Romec Employees And The Cwu
EDM number 2188 in 2007-08, proposed by Michael Connarty on 07/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Industrial relations and Postal services.
That this House supports the members of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) in their industrial action against Romec; deplores Romec's introduction of enforced work attendance patterns and callout arrangements, with increased antisocial hours and more burdensome call-out obligations, without consultation with their staff or their union; recognises the hard work that is undertaken by Romec engineers across the country maintaining the Royal Mail estate, and in particular those who do such a good job on the Parliamentary Estate; notes that the House of Commons authorities recognise and have a positive relationship with trades unions and expect all contractors to develop the same positive approach; and calls upon Royal Mail, as the major stakeholder, to assist Romec in returning to negotiations with the CWU in order to come to an agreement that is acceptable to their staff.
This motion has been signed by a total of 73 MPs.
