Concerns That Test Train Representation Rights Are Being Ignored By LUL Will Be Pursued By RMT
Submitted by admin on 27 April, 2012 - 00:24
We note the resolution from our LU Fleet branch, and are alarmed at reports that management are apparently acting as though ASLEF has representation in this department, where RMT has sole recognition rights.
We note that our Regional Organiser has already contacted the employer and received assurances that this situation will be dealt with and RMT’s sole recognition will be upheld. We instruct the General Secretary to confirm that this is taking place in practice, and to bring to our attention any breaches.
London Transport Regional Council, LU Fleet branch and our test trains representative to be advised.
