This has been achieved through the persistent efforts of our representatives - especially our Uniform Consultative Committee representatives and our Victoria Line North stations health and safety representative - and through demonstrating the strength of feeling of our members on this important issue of workplace comfort and safety.
We instruct the General Secretary to:
1. contact all London Underground members by rmtmail informing them of this
2. monitor the implementation of this policy and report to us any problems that may arise
3. continue to press for other clothing items that may improve thermal comfort
4. include an article in RMT News welcoming this policy and explaining how it was achieved
Regional Councils, branches and London Underground health and safety representatives to be advised.
