Pro Forma For Drivers Expressing Wish To Work Within Frameworks During Olympic Period

Pro forma is attached below

By now most of you will have received a copy of an expression of interest form circulated by LUL asking Drivers to give their preferences for working additional shifts over the Olympic period, in breach of our framework agreements. This form claims its distribution has been agreed with the Trade Unions whereas only ASLEF has agreed. RMT continues to be in discussions with LUL over our claims for Olympic recognition and reward.

"We have drawn up a pro forma which you can complete and return to your Train Operations Manager to make clear that you reserve your right to continue to work to the existing Framework"

We are also concerned that the form states that unless the form is completed and returned, management will treat that has a agreement to make you work any duties they deem fit to allocate to you. I have written to management to make our position absolutely clear and have requested the form is withdrawn with immediate effect.

In the meantime, we have drawn up a pro forma which you can complete and return to your Train Operations Manager to make clear that you reserve your right to continue to work to the existing Framework agreement and driving parameters as no agreement has yet been reached with your union.
