Tim tortures Dolly
I'm really enjoying this (scroll down to the two screenshots from Draper's blog).
Remind me again to never piss Timbles off.
Anyway - working on a couple of things atm, so will be back soon.
In the meantime, keep your eyes on the below regarding the very unpleasant treatment that union reps for RMT cleaners are experiencing at the hands of the charming Metronet. There are several demos in support of the cleaners planned this week - they're mentioned in the text below (from Feminist Fightback):
'The attacks on RMT cleaners' reps on the underground continues, with another rep suspended without pay and threatened with dismissal this Monday. Calls for Mary Oboakye to be reinstated will be amplified this week with an action at Metronet offices on Wednesday lunchtime.
Please come along to the following and mobilise as many people as you can for the actions:
MONDAY 26 JANUARY - 1.30PM - DEFEND PHILLIP, RMT CLEANER REP FROM DISMISSAL
Meet 1.30pm at WH Smiths at London Bridge, travel to the ISS Offices, 15 Park Vista, Greenwich for demo from 2.30pm
Phillip has worked on the underground for 7 years, but it is only since he became active as a union rep that employers have questioned his immigration status. Come along to the offices and make some noise before his hearing at 3pm.
WEDNESDAY 28 JANUARY - 1PM - REINSTATE MARY, RMT CLEANERS REP, UNFAIRLY DISMISSED
1pm, RMT Demonstration at Metronet, Templar House, 81-87 High Holborn, WC1V 6NU. (2 minutes walk from Holborn station)
Mary's crime was to sit down after finishing her work while she was waiting for the train doors to be opened. 3 days earlier, she had sustained an eye injury at work - but was denied sick pay and annual leave. We know she was targeted for her union activity and want to let Metronet know that we hold them responsible for the actions of their contractors. Mary must be reinstated!
FRIDAY 30 JANUARY - 6PM - RMT CLEANERS GRADE MEETING 1pm, WEA Offices, 70 Clifton Street, EC2A 4HB (5 mins walk from Old Street station) Speaker: Elaine Hefferman, Immigration Issues Advisor.'
