UPDATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP DETAILS - VIA NICK SMITH
This is RMT's Official circular regarding LUL - IR/334/09 dated 10th of November 2009, from General Secretary Bob Crow.
You will be aware that, following consultation with our representatives, RMT previously decided not to accept LUL’s pay offer and to commence a re-ballot of its LUL Membership for industrial action. I can confirm that our stand prompted Management to arrange a meeting yesterday with all the unions at ACAS.
PLease find copied below, and attached, London Underground's proposal for medical redeployment (not a guaranteed alternative job) for drivers only (and only 25 drivers!). RMT does not accept this. The part at the end in BLOCK CAPITALS is a commitment obtained by RMT to further discussion within a week on extending this to other grades and lifting the maximum 25.
PROPOSAL FOR MEDICAL REDEPLOYMENT OF TRAIN OPERATORS
As a consequence of some appalling local management on the Finsbury Park Group, our branch has published a special edition of Monthly News to highlight what has been going on there. Click on the attachment to download a copy and read all about it.
RMT and London Underground are discussing pay at ACAS today.
RMT hopes that London Underground management take this opportunity to increase their insulting-low pay offer. Your union will ballot members for strike action should LUL's pay offer not give you a decent rise.
Check back to this website for news of what happens at the talks.
It seems as though a sensible decision has been made, as it was announced this week that Metronet will remain under the management of LUL. It's recent transition to LUL had been on a temporary basis but will now be ongoing. The Department for Transport has a press release on this issue:
THE COMBINATION of private-sector greed and £5 billion in transport cuts planned by London’s mayor threaten to derail the Tube upgrades that are essential to the capital’s economic future, the network’s biggest union said today.
Meanwhile, management seems to have seen the resolution of the 5 rounder issue as a green light to continue their vindictive campaign of harassment and intimidation against Glen Watson, our rep at Seven Sisters depot.
