Submitted by Janine on Tue, 31/01/2012 - 16:02RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note the resolution from our London Transport Regional Council and share its determination to protect members’ jobs and London Underground staffing levels. London Underground has already cut staffing levels to dangerously low levels, and should be considering increasing rather than further cutting them.
We instruct the General Secretary to ensure that the points outlined in the resolution have been raised with London Underground, and to place a report in front of us of the company’s response.

Submitted by Peter on Mon, 30/01/2012 - 15:18TUBE UNION RMT has rejected the latest Olympics pay offer from London Underground and has agreed to step up the pressure for a fair deal for all staff across the grades that properly rewards the additional work load and pressure that members will need to carry throughout the extended Olympics and Paralympics period.

RMT Rejects Latest London Underground Olympics Offer
Submitted by Janine on Tue, 24/01/2012 - 18:12RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note the new, slightly improved offer from London Underground of:
- £100 depending on meeting ‘Customer Satisfaction Survey’ targets
- £20 per shift worked (including those on alternative duties or off sick due to assault) during the Games only (4 weeks)
This does not address most of our reasons for rejecting the previous offer, and remains unacceptable because:
- The money offered is not an adequate reward for our members.
- The £100 will not be paid unless the targets are met.

Submitted by Janine on Tue, 24/01/2012 - 18:11RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note the legal advice received on this matter.
While we are disappointed that our advisers believe that there is no legal avenue to compel London Underground to allow trade union representatives to accompany members at Rainbow Attendance Review meetings, we welcome the advice that it may be possible to pursue legal claims arising from London Underground Ltd’s apparent unilateral change to its attendance policy.
We therefore instruct the General Secretary to:
