4. Demo to build solidarity with the cleaners' struggle, 17 June
9.30am, Wednesday 17 June, City Hall (London Bridge or Tower Gateway tube)
Despite the cleaning contractors' promises after the Tube cleaners' strike last year, many cleaners are still not paid the London Living Wage. Meanwhile, many RMT union activists have been victimised, often in cooperation with the immigration police, and forced out of their jobs.
RMT is holding a demonstration in support of its cleaner members' pay claim and their right to organise on 17 June.

The RMT certainly doesn't need to worry about public opinion being 'turned' against them. Everybody who uses the tube to get to work will already have strong opinions on the strike...

computerise the lot, and take away the power over peoples lives that this rabit shit has.
This is not a legitemate reason to strike..."cos we can, it's a nice day and I want to get my face in the papers again" is not protest it's greed plain and simple.
