News, reports and information for RMT members who work for London Underground Ltd
Dear RMT members
All day today (Tuesday) myself and senior RMT reps met LUL at ACAS. We dealt with the outstanding issues for members on Every job matters /FFFS and the pay and night tube offer and it's impact on Train Operators.
An RMT spokesperson said; "Late last night RMT reps received a guarantee from the LU chief rolling stock engineer that the root cause of the fault on the Piccadilly Line doors has been identified and tests to assure the safety of the fleet by the appropriate specialists have been carried out.
"An enhanced system check for door engine failures will be introduced with immediate effect . RMT reps will continue to take part in additional investigations on the failure this morning.
DISCIPLINARY, GLEN HART – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/4/4)
Further to my previous Circular (IR/261, 29th October 2015), the National Executive Committee has considered a report from the Lead Officer and also noted from the LTRC that there is strong support for Glen from our members across all London Underground grades and taken the decision to conduct a ballot for strike action and action short of a strike.
London Underground wants to close the 11 remaining ticket offices on the network, including Queen’s Park and stations north on the Bakerloo Line. They have to conduct a public consultation before doing so; RMT is fighting for the ticket office to remain open, and asking passengers to contribute to the consultation to express their opposition to closure.
Dear RMT members
Today myself with senior RMT reps met LUL with the other unions at acas .We have laid out our demands on all the issues effected and told the company that unless good progress is made the strikes will take place and further industrial action could be called. LUL listened to our presentations and the talks are adjourned until next week. When all parties have agreed to continue discussions. As soon as we have further updates I will report back.
In solidarity
