Uniform Committee

The Uniform Consultative Committee will be meeting on 25th June. The commitee will discuss the new LU uniform, which has been launched at ‘Gateway’ stations and will be rolled out combine-wide in September.

If you have feedback from where the uniform is already being worn, please pass this to us. We will raise it at the meeting.

At the last UCC, we got LU to agree that if a significant number of problems were raised, such as with the sizing and cut, then LU might make revisions before the uniform is issued to us all in September.

New London Underground Uniform
RMT Uniform Consultative Committee Update, April 2015

What’s happened so far?
2013 – 2014: uniform design. The RMT Uniform Committee reps gave feedback to the designers, prioritising comfort and practicality. Like most staff, we argued for a professional look, as opposed to the multi-coloured, clown-like look that LU initially proposed.

We note the correspondence from London Underground, calling a meeting to discuss the process for conducting the review of the machineries. We instruct the General Secretary to ensure that the appropriate officer and representatives attend this meeting, and to provide them with copies of previous decisions on this issue.

We note that while this review was originally of the industrial relations and health & safety machineries, the correspondence from LUL now suggests that it covers other areas
