IMPORTANT!!! Change of Neasden Branch Meeting Date for April

Due to the unavailability of a number of Officers, the next branch meeting (scheduled for 19th April) will now be held on Wednesday 12th April instead (same venue). It is hoped that further branch meetings will be held on their scheduled dates. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Nigel Eivers. 

Neasden Branch - Postponement of next Branch Meeting

Due to the RMT strike action on Wednesday 15th March, the Branch Committee have decided to postpone the next Branch Meeting.

The process for picketing for the strike is well established, so please could Picket Supervisors organise their picket lines locally. Placards and armbands etc will be availble from the Branch Secretary on 13th March, or can be collected from Unity House directly. 

H&C Branch Meeting Today @ 1500hrs

You are reminded the H&C Branch Meeting will be taking place today, Wednesday 1st March 2023, as usual at 1500hrs. See the attached poster for further details.

Among important issues to discuss are:

  • The upcoming Strike Action on the 15th March
  • Stations Rostering Issues and potential to enter into Dispute
  • Locking/Opening Up of unmanned stations (particularly on the Ladbroke Grove Group)

Your Level 2 & Tier 2 reps will be available to give a report and answer any questions you may have.

All members welcome.

IMPORTANT- H&C February 2023 Branch Meeting CANCELLED

IMPORTANT- The Hammersmith & City Branch Meeting is CANCELLED on the 1st February 2023.

This is due to lack of available Branch Officials. The Secretary is unavailable, and the assistant Branch Secretary has had to leave London at short notice, and also there is a National Rail Train Drivers strike on the same day.

We wouldn't usually cancel a meeting just because of a different TOC taking strike action, and this decision has not been taken lightly, but combined with the unavailability of Branch Officials we have been left with no option.

Update from RO on talks with LUL - Strike on 10th Nov 2022!

Your RMT negotiators met London Underground yesterday (8/11/22)  and offered to suspend our strike action if management agreed to:

Suspend the implementation of 600 station job cuts until the end of this year.

Make a clear statement that LUL would not agree to detrimental attacks on our pension arising out the current pension review that they are conducting with government.
