Despite numerous demands by the Trade Union reps regarding numbers required at Hammersmith control room and grading, management claim they don’t know!

As part of this process, management have decided to visit each location to ascertain where staff wish to work after the change.

DO NOT CO-OPERATE IN THIS PROCESS

Until the Trade Unions are given the information that we require in order to make an objective assessment, and we can agree protection for all staff affected, we advise that you consult with your trade union representative before participating in any one-to-one interview with management or their representatives.

Make no mistake that the RMT reps on the JWP have agreed nothing and will support each and every member.
