London Underground management have stood down a station supervisor for doing his job to the letter and following the over time ban - by not being paid to work through his meal break - as directed by the RMT.

The supervisor who faces this attack was also threatened with a drugs and alcohol test. All he did was to take the necessary step of closing the station he was supervising so that he could take a meal break.

As RMT members are aware, we are currently on an overtime ban in response to tube bosses plan to cut hundreds of jobs.

The RMT will not allow London Underground to punish our members who take lawful industrial action. This is a crass attack: be assured that the union is responding strongly.

If you find yourself in a situation where you have to close your station so that you can have the meal break you are entitled to, you will have the full support of this union.

Do not work any overtime.

In Solidarity,

John Leach.
