Dispute situation arising as LU bosses derecognise station reps

We note and welcome the resolution from our Bakerloo Line Branch regarding the imposed de-recognition of many of our stations reps which amounts to a form of union busting, is a significant attack on our union’s democracy, disenfranchises our members and if LU is allowed to get away with de-recognising reps on stations, the
majority function on LU, they will be emboldened to attack our levels of representation elsewhere on the job.

In light of the above and managements unilateral disregarded for the agreed machinery of negotiation we believe a dispute situation is clearly arising.  We refer this matter into our Southern Sub Committee for urgent examination and report regarding the formulation of a proportional response that involves discussion amongst members at Branch and workplace level aimed at equipping our de- recognised reps, defending and promoting the interests of our members and discussing what form of action will be most practical and effective in forcing a reversal from the company.

All relevant Branches and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.
