BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, EUSTON AREA (VICTORIA CENTRAL GROUP) - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)
Since the suspension of industrial action last year (IR/115/22, 1st June 2022), industrial relations at Euston Area have deteriorated again due to an increase in management bullying and consistent mistreatment of members with disabilities or on long-term sickness.

Further to my previous Circular (IR/148/23, 24th May 2023), I wrote to LUL seeking talks in an effort to make progress over this dispute and in particular, the new rosters and staffing cuts which have been imposed on stations leading to unprecedented levels of station closures and a deterioration of members' work life balance. The clear need for full and proper station staffing has been further highlighted by recent serious assaults on station staff.

Dear Colleagues,
DEFEND JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND
You are all congratulated for returning a fourth vote in this dispute and giving a magnificent mandate to continue our fight to protect your jobs, pensions and agreements.
A meeting for all LUL members has been arranged on Tuesday 30th May 2023 at the Indian YMCA, 41 Fitzroy Square, London W1T 6AQ from 15:00 to 17:00 hours to discuss our continued fight to Defend Jobs, Pensions & Agreements.
Please make every effort to attend.
RMT called on TfL to end its cuts programme, which is forcing repeated station closures across the network, opening staff up to abuse from frustrated passengers.
TfL has had its funding from central government dramatically cut but instead of standing up to ministers, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan is cutting 600 staff and implementing a new rostering system that does not work.
The latest edition of Upfront, the newsletter for Tube train drivers, looks at how RMT will fight LU's plan to increase train operator flexibility and likely cut jobs.
