The following has been supplied by PCS
PCS is aware that our Mitie members working on DWP cleaning Contract have received a letter from Dawn Kiveston, Mitie HR Business Partner, and Integrated Facilities Management informing them that Mitie was unsuccessful in tendering for the contract and that Cofely has been appointed as the new contractor.
She also asked them to elect employee representatives with a view to reaching agreement on the proposals for the transfer of their employment to Cofely but the letter did not mention that Mitie will be consulting the union.
The closing date for the election of the employee representative is Friday 15th August 2014.
Mitie staff in DWP offices should be aware that PCS will be representing them and they should not participate in the election process.
Kind regards.
Sarah Taiwo
DWP Industrial Officer.
