Branch Meeting 27th July

Your Branch Officials have made the decision to make tomorrows Branch Meeting, 27th July 2022, a Hybrid Zoom meeting. This is due to the National Rail strike affecting some TOCs.

We understand some members and reps who live outside of London would struggle to attend. Therefore we will use a laptop to make the meeting Hybrid. 

Overtime works against us

Why working overtime works against us…

The sudden sharp increase in station closures demonstrates what we always knew; the job requires more station staff, not fewer. 

LU has made clear its intention to get shot of around 600 CSA posts. Talks between RMT and LU have gone nowhere but the strength of the strikes on 1st/3rd March forced a partial (temporary) climbdown on pensions and now LU is looking to take on a grade or a function at a time. 

H&C Branch Meeting and Kings X I/R Rep Election

This is just a reminder that the Hammersmith & City Branch Meeting meets tomorrow (6th April 2022). This is at the Dolphin Public House, Kings Cross, from 3pm- all Branch Members are welcome!

You are reminded that there is an election taking place for the position of Industrial Relations Rep, at Kings Cross (LUL) Station. The two candidates are:

-Grant Cox

-Chris Mortimer

Both candidates will be given the opportunity to make a short address and a Q&A will then follow. This will be followed by the vote which will be in person only at the meeting.

King's Cross Industrial Relations Rep (LUL Station)

Kings Cross

A vacancy has arisen for IR Rep at Kings Cross. Nominations MUST be received by the Branch before 1700hrs on Wednesday 2nd March 2022. This MUST now be by email on hammersmithcity@rmt.org.uk

Two nominations (and seconders) have already been received therefore there will be an election.

The election will be In-Person ONLY at the April Branch Meeting on the 6th April 2022. Please see attached poster for Branch Meeting details. 

 

No H&C Branch Meeting on 2nd March

There will be no H&C Branch Meeting on the 2nd March 2022 due to the Strike Action that week. The meeting was moved forward 7 days to the 23rd February. All H&C Branch Members and senior reps were notified of this by email (where provided details exist).

 

The next H&C Branch Meeting will take place on the 6th April as usual. Please see the attached poster.
