RMT To Ballot Service Control Members For Industrial Action
Submitted by admin on 27 April, 2012 - 00:51
We note that our London Underground service control representatives and members met on
Wednesday 18 April. They feel strongly that London Underground Ltd has not responded adequately
to their concerns, and wish RMT to begin a ballot for strike action and action short of strike forthwith.
We therefore instruct the General Secretary to:
- commence this ballot
- set timescales for it which co-ordinate with other disputes in the London Transport region, so
long as this is practical and does not unnecessarily delay action in any dispute - send a personal letter by post to all members involved, urging them to vote Yes to both
questions - provide support and resources to our Regional Council’s service control grades committee to
organise for this dispute
London Transport Regional Council, branches and London Underground service control
representatives to be advised.
