Video: Night Tube strike update

On the eve of the first of several proposed Night Tube strikes, Regional Organiser John Leach updates members.

In the video, John explains: "After 6 months of trying to explain and persuade London Underground management that you cannot abolish 200 positions, rip up an agreement that protects our members work life balance, and their right to not have to do these {Night Tube} duties if they can't, we have to stand up and be counted."

Ballot: 4-day Working Week & Trains Functional Council Representation London Underground

Dear RMT Member,

4-DAY WORKING WEEK & TRAINS FUNCTIONAL COUNCIL REPRESENTATION LONDON UNDERGROUND

You should now have received and returned your ballot paper for the above which was posted to you on Tuesday 14th July. It is vital that we achieve the highest possible turnout and the highest possible vote saying YES for action to demand that the unacceptable compressed working week is not imposed and to demand equality of representation in the trains function.

RMT drivers to strike as management continue to ignore demands or provide reasonable assurances

Dear RMT Member

4-DAY WORKING WEEK & TRAINS FUNCTIONAL COUNCIL REPRESENTATION - LONDON UNDERGROUND

As you know, the strike action which had been scheduled for last week was suspended to allow further negotiations in obtaining clarity on what management's position is on protecting those drivers who do not wish to accept new terms and conditions to enter into the compressed four-day week arrangements.
