Dear Colleagues,

DEFEND JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/052/23. 28th February 2023), a resolution has been received from our Hammersmith & City Branch, regarding the imposition of new rosters. The Company has not properly consulted our Reps over these rosters which are unworkable, and members wish to fight back against the detrimental effect these cuts will have, including on their work/life balance.

Overtime works against us

Why working overtime works against us…

The sudden sharp increase in station closures demonstrates what we always knew; the job requires more station staff, not fewer. 

LU has made clear its intention to get shot of around 600 CSA posts. Talks between RMT and LU have gone nowhere but the strength of the strikes on 1st/3rd March forced a partial (temporary) climbdown on pensions and now LU is looking to take on a grade or a function at a time. 

Video: If a Tube strike 'costs' London £50m a day, how much do Tube workers generate for the economy?

Submitted by Admin on 2 June, 2022 - 15:38

If a Tube strike costs London £50m a day, then it would follow that we generate £18,250,000,000 a year - that's over 18 billion pound!

Watch Jared Wood, our National Executive Committee representative, discuss that and the importance of voting YES YES in our re-ballot.
