Significant Progress Leads To Strike Being Called Off

‘That we note the update report from the Lead Officer which outlines progress that has been made at ACAS since our last decision to call strike action which are as follows:

  • LU has abandoned their position that consultation has been completed. They now accept further consultation will take place on Fit for the Future, Stations.
  • LU has accepted that the number of post reductions will be further reduced from the planned 897.
  • The crucial principle of Salary and location guarantee has been extended to all staff who have medical restrictions.

The negotiating team clearly believe that this is significant progress so therefore, we instruct the General Secretary to suspend the planned Industrial Action including the current overtime ban in order for further talks to take place. This Union remains in opposition to the new operating model and will continue to campaign against Ticket Office closures and austerity cuts on LUL.

All further developments to be placed back in front of this GGC.’

London Transport Regional Council and Branches to be advised.’
