Resolution: London Underground Attendance Policy
Submitted by Janine on 12 October, 2010 - 07:55
This resolution, submitted by Morden & Oval branch and amended by Finsbury Park branch, was passed unanimously by October's Regional Council meeting.
This Regional Council notes that management are pressurising members to sign agreements regarding their attendance performance. This has led to our members who have failed to meet this attendance target level being dismissed.
The Regional Council reaffirms its opposition to management's attendance policy.
It is the policy of the Regional Council that our members do no sin for any warnings or individual agreements regarding attendance performance. The Regional Council should make this policy widely known to all our members, and give clear guidance to our representatives.
