14th March 2018
Circular No: IR/140/18

 Dear Colleague,

BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, TRAIN OPERATORS, PICCADILLY LINE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Following the resolution to this dispute last year (Circular IR/173/17, 21st April 2017), a meeting with the Senior Assistant General Secretary, NEC members, Trains Functional Council Reps and Piccadilly Line Reps recently took place at Unity House. At this meeting, it was reported that Piccadilly Line management are not adhering to the items agreed, in particular:-

  •  Trains Safety Issues
  • Application of SPAD Policy
  • Training Issues
  • 5th Day CDP Training
  • Cockfosters Depot Meal Relief Point
  • Cockfosters Barrier and Familiarisation
  • Action Tracker
  • Representation at Fact Finds
  • Attendance at Sickness Reviews
  • Review Process

This matter has been considered by the National Executive Committee, which has taken the decision to request that discussions at ACAS are reconvened to review the progress, or lack of progress, regarding the above. I am currently acting in accordance with this decision and will keep Branches advised of all further developments.

Yours sincerely,

Mick Cash
General Secretary
