Review of Industrial Disputes - London Underground
Submitted by Janine on 10 August, 2011 - 18:13
RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note the report from the General Secretary.
We instruct the General Secretary to write immediately to all London Underground branches and representatives outlining how the review is to progress, and asking them to submit any issues which they think should be raised.
We further instruct the General Secretary to raise with Professor Goodman as part of this review the increasing tendency of London Underground management to take an excessively long time to issue decisions on individual disciplinary and appeal hearings, which we believe is unduly stressful to the members involved, not conducive to a fair disciplinary process, and damaging to industrial relations.
