Spare Turns Meal Break Victory for RMT

The dispute on the Central line is paying dividends for drivers across the combine. Following a massive Yes vote for strike action the RMT has been in talks about a number of issues, one of which is the unsafe and unfair practice of forcing spare drivers to have 2 meal breaks. This would usually involve taking a break as soon as a driver signs on followed by 5.15 of work and then
another break followed by more work.

Attached is the latest edition of MATS News, the newsletter for managers and admin grades on London Underground.  In this issue: Trains Manager Meal Breaks,  Misuse of P&Ds, Pay and Transformation.
