Signal Maintainers' Strike: Urgent safety advice for Drivers

Colleagues:

We need to advise you that RMT Signal maintainers working for the former Metronet will be taking industrial action for 24 hours starting from 06.45 on Friday 5th of February.

Their dispute is over the imposition of unagreed rosters that change Monday to Friday workers to compulsory weekends

This dispute could have serious implications for the safety of the service that LU will be offering for the duration of the industrial action.

Signals Engineering Staff: Rosters, Breaches of Agreement and Outsourcing Dispute

LUL have now put out a circular regarding our dispute and urging people to vote, so please take that advice and vote YES. It is very disappointing to have to ballot nearly 750 people covered by the signals framework agreement to get LUL to listen to us. They must still think that it is Christmas and we are the Turkey ready for carving up.

TfL Joint Unions Pay Bulletin

Get The Facts Right!

Warning! Don’t believe everything you hear from TfL. Managers have been telling staff that they will not receive the 75% Reimbursement after April 1st 2010 if they don’t sign the pay award acceptance form. This is untrue. Reimbursement will continue for the full length of your current season ticket, even if it expires after April 1st 2010. Maybe this was meant as an early April Fool, but it’s more likely yet another mistake from management that don’t seem to have a clue what they’re doing.

'RMT London Calling' September 2009 - Is This All You Are Worth?!

newsletter fron page22p. That's what London Underground's pay offer is worth to a Customer Services Assistant in year 2. The new issue of 'RMT London Calling' newsletter spells out the details of how miserly LUL's and TfL's pay offers are, and how poorly they compare to rises enjoyed by company directors and even by other workers.

There are also reports from Docklands Light Railway, the Woolwich ferry, the Victoria line 'five-rounders' dispute, and Boris Johnson's latest broken promise - on snow day pay.

Poster: How much are prices really going up?

posterThe attached two posters show clearly how the pay offers from London Underground and Transport for London - of a measly 1.5% this year (with an even more measly 0.5% in following years) - will not cover the real rising cost of living. In other words, it is a pay cut.

Drivers' Pay Awards

posterBelow is a list of 2009 pay awards for train drivers. This information certainly puts LUL's measly 1.5% - and even worse, 0.5% next year - into perspective!

  • Arriva Trains Wales: 4.75%

First They Came ...

First they came for the admin staff, and I did not take action because I am not admin staff

Then they came for the engineers, and I did not take action because I am not an engineer

Then they came for the station staff, and I did not take action because I do not work on stations

Then they came for service control, and I did not take action because I do not work in service control

Then they came for the revenue staff, and I did not take action because I am not an RCI

Then they came for the drivers, and I did not take action because I am not a driver

Then they came for me ... and there was no-one left to take action for me

STAND UP FOR JOBS, PAY AND JUSTICE

New leaflet: RMT membership standing firm!

Click '1 attachment' / file name to download and print this leaflet. Read the text below.

A clear message was delivered by LUL/TfL RMT members at Monday’s Friends House Mass Meeting.

This is because LUL management are stonewalling in negotiations so much, that they’ve actually moved backward on some issues that were near resolution with the pre-strike deal mysteriously pulled by management at the last minute on 9th June!
