ISS s Disastrous Diktat

ISS has today issued instructions to Northern Line station cleaners that are as absurd as they are oppressive. The cowboy contractor has told half the cleaners that they must take two weeks holiday from tomorrow, leaving the other half to clean 3 or 4 stations each.
So one half have holidays that they have had no time to prepare for, and which they will lose from later in the year, and the other half have a ridiculous, sweatshop-like workload.
ISS did this without notice or consultation with the union, and RMT reps and activists are already on ISS s case, demanding they withdraw this outrageous instruction.
