TRACK PATROLLING, CLESHAR STAFF – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/1)

The following resolution was recently received from our LU Engineering Branch:-

“This Branch notes that LUL have decided to train Cleshar’s staff to undertake track patrolling. This is a clear breach of agreements and a direct attack on the internal staffs’ job security and direct casualisation. We therefore ask the General Grades Committee to ballot all operational permanent way track staff for industrial action and action short of strike”.

This matter has been considered by the General Grades Committee, which has taken the decision to prepare a ballot matrix and to ballot all operational permanent way track staff members for strike action and action short of strike action. I am currently acting in accordance with this decision and will keep you advised of all further developments.
