Dear RMT members

This afternoon myself and senior RMT Stations reps, alongside TSSA, attended talks at ACAS with LUL. This was the first meeting since last week's ACAS talks and also our first meeting since the reps meeting yesterday.

Dear RMT members

Today myself with RMT Piccadilly line reps and TFC met face to face with the LUL JNP Director, Piccadilly line General Manager and ER team at ACAS.

We were able to lay out in detail all of the issues effecting our members that need fixing on the line. We explained the anger of our members and our determination to get justice

Management have agreed to respond to us in writing early next week.

Accordingly we will attend ACAS next week to consider the LUL postion.

I will be in touch with you all after that.

In solidarity,

NEW YEARS’ EVE WORKING 2016 - An update

Dear Colleagues It has been brought to my attention that Aslef has been making wildly inaccurate claims about this Union’s position on NYE payments for drivers. It saddens me to have to refute statements from another union, because I believe we should always strive to work together, but I cannot allow falsehoods to go unchallenged.

Today myself and RMT line reps, along with aslef met with Directors and Piccadilly management face to face at Acas to hammer out improvements on key industrial issues effecting our members in this dispute. SPADS, Discipline, the Greivance proceedure , performance management and a commitment to better Industrial relations were discussed. We belive that it was a positive meeting and have agreed to track and review commitments given to the unions by LUL We have also agreed that all parties will sign up to statement to improve industrial relations on the line.

Dear RMT members

I am pleased to advise you that we have some good news with regards to Brother Glen Hart. I have received a letter from LUL that Gllen, myself and NEC member John Reid are happy with.

Shortly Glen will be able to return to his normal duties in his job at work.

This is great news for Glen, the union and all of us. Justice and common sense has prevailed.

Thanks and in solidarity

Dear RMT members,

This afternoon I have received a letter from LUL on the above. After waiting 6 days for any contact.

We made it clear at ACAS last week that our three (with three aslef as well) 6 in total victimised members at Oakwood need to be exonerated before the strike called for tomorrow. They've had at least 6 days from acas and weeks before that as well with all other issues to be resolved.

This has not been offered. An appeal for one member which is a legal entitlement is all that is forthcoming, as well as a meeting for another case and an acas review.

To RMT Members

It has been brought to my attention that some RMT members in Station grades have been sent letters that involve some sort of offer / and or contract to sign under Fit For the future stations. We have been in discussion with management over this matter for some time, and we were waiting for the company to come back to us.

Additionally I have taken legal advice from RMTs lawyers on the matter of contracts under FFFS.

Re: Every job matters /Fit for the future stations. Further Update on talks held on Thursday 4th February

Dear RMT members

Today, all day We continued the face to face negotiations with LUL at Director level on the above dispute.

The talks were intensive, detailed and constructive.

Negotiations have not finished and are now adjourned until 0930 Friday 5th February.

Thanks
