Tube Lines Members To Strike Again In Fight For A Decent Pension

This action has been altered - the latest strike details are here.

We note the correspondence giving the views of the strike committee formed by our Tube Lines reps.

In line with this, we instruct our Tube Lines members to take industrial action as follows:

  • Not to book on for any shift starting on or after 06:00 on Friday 2 November, resuming to shifts starting after 05:59 on Saturday 3 November.
  • Not to work overtime at any time on Saturday 3 November.

We instruct the General Secretary to:

  • send a personal letter by post to the members involved
  • arrange a series of workplace visits and meetings in conjunction with the strike committee
  • arrange the production and distribution of a bulletin for Tube Lines members, to include reports of the impacts of the industrial action in this dispute so far
  • carry out our previous decision to place in front of us a report on the cases of those LUL members who invoked the procedure for refusal to work on the grounds of health and safety concerns during the Tube Lines strike in April.

London Transport Regional Council, branches and Tube Lines representatives to be advised.
