Motion · S5M-18580 · 22 Aug 2019
Justice for Mitie Cleaners
The motion
That the Parliament commends the action of the RMT union for their campaigning events and for highlighting the need for a living wage for Mitie cleaners on Network Rail-managed stations; understands that, in a survey of Mitie employees, 50% of respondents said that they struggled to make ends meet; agrees that these essential rail workers should not have to survive on poverty pay while, it believes, the Mitie Group's shareholders have received nearly £49 million in dividends in the last five years, and hopes that this action results in justice for Mitie employees.
