RMT To Ballot If Signal Irregularities Aren't Fixed
Submitted by admin on 20 February, 2013 - 02:54
We note the correspondence from London Underground Ltd, and note that pressure applied by this union appears to be making the company take this matter more seriously.
However, we do not accept that mitigations make this situation safe or acceptable, and insist on it being rectified.
Having spoken with our representative, we note that Thales is due to carry out a new ‘software drop’ over the first weekend in March. If this does not resolve the problem to the satisfaction of our representative, we will ballot our members for industrial action.

Submitted by admin on 15 February, 2013 - 02:55
Further to our decision Gww 8/1/13, we note the report from our representatives' meeting held on 25 January.
We note that London Underground's Upgrades programme has a significant impact on many of our members, including providing a pretext for LUL management to attack jobs and conditions. It is therefore essential that we mobilise all our relevant representatives to work together in unity to secure the best possible outcome for our members and for the future of London Underground.

Signalling Irregularities At Neasden Depot
Submitted by admin on 22 January, 2013 - 03:18We note the resolution from our Neasden branch and share our branch’s concern at London Underground Ltd’s failure to compel its contractor, Thales, to repair signalling irregularities at Neasden Depot.
This is not an acceptable way for the company to conduct its upgrades, not only causing problems for our members at work but also potentially endangering both staff and passengers.
