London Underground Ltd

We note the report from our Lead Officer regarding the company’s failure to adhere to commitments made toward a better work life balance for LU Train Staff; and the detrimental course taken in these talks and current proposals which if are introduced will lead to fatigue and potentially to mistakes such as spads.

This is unacceptable and we instruct the General Secretary to write to London Underground immediately to inform them we are in dispute, and prepare a ballot matrix.

Members to be advised by email and text.

Further to my previous Circular (IR/298/17, 13th July 2017), and following the massive ‘YES’ vote by members in the recent ballot, RMT Reps had a strong position during talks with the Company and after a number of meetings, the following proposal was received:-

RMT Union is balloting all Train Operators and Instructor Operators at Loughton, Leytonstone, and Hainault Depots on the East End of the Central Line for STRIKE ACTION following the high-handed and overly severe treatment of Train Operator Danny Davis.

On 10th July, London Underground sacked Danny Davis at CDI for gross misconduct.

Tube union RMT today called for an independent inquiry into London Undergrounds disastrous stations job cuts programs " Fit for the Future " after the ORR - the government regulator - issue London Underground with a legal "improvement notice " following the tragic death of a customer at Canning Town on the 29th of  January this year .

The RMT have repeated demands for  the reversal of TFL and Network Rail cuts follokwing this morning's transport chaos.

General Secretary Mick Cash said;

"The state of transport services right across London this morning serves as the clearest possible warning to this Government that their policy of hacking back the budgets of both Network Rail and Transport for London risks dragging tube and rail in the capital city into permanent chaos.
