Video: Night Tube strike update

Submitted by Admin on 25 November, 2021 - 11:37

On the eve of the first of several proposed Night Tube strikes, Regional Organiser John Leach updates members.

In the video, John explains: "After 6 months of trying to explain and persuade London Underground management that you cannot abolish 200 positions, rip up an agreement that protects our members work life balance, and their right to not have to do these {Night Tube} duties if they can't, we have to stand up and be counted."

STATION STAFFING - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/5)

The Lead Officer has reported that LUL still continues to seek to reorganise and reduce headcount across stations. RMT members took strike action in 2023 under the Defending Jobs & Agreements dispute which was resolved at the time in terms of the impact on stations but since that time, we have experienced a failure to fill vacancies at the same time as passenger levels now exceeding pre-covid period at times, which has led to a chronic state of understaffing on stations and in the revenue department.
