Stations and Revenue Functional

LU has threatened to impose Fit for the Future by demanding all station staff sign new employment contracts. Regional Organiser, John Leach has issued clear advce not to sign anynew contract. The only exception to this is for fixed term members offered a new permanent contract.

The company has also tabled new demands that management be able to change any duty with 24 hours notice. RMT will not accept ths. Council of Executives member John Ried has made clear that strike action will be called if LU try to impose a framework, rosters or contracts.

We will not accept a new framework unless it meets our concerns.

Negotiations are developing on a daily basis so I will wait until we have a clearer position before producing aanother SFC News. However, I know reps and members want to know how talks are going so here are some recent developments:

Management have made widespread changes to their proposals on stations relating to both Night Tube and Fit for the Futre.

RMT is balloting LU station members for strike action in response to LU's revised proposals for job cuts and detrimental changes to working conditions.
Our stations will be dangerously understaffed while our members rostering arrangements will be casualised leaving us with no work/life balance.

London Underground has finally revealed its revised staffing figure for our stations. After 7 months of discussions, around the rosters in every area, 59 jobs have been restored.

This means, taking into account the 64 jobs won back in earlier talks, that LU now plans 838 job cuts instead of 953.

We have won 115 jobs back in talks but we have made it clear to the company at today’s meeting that 838 cuts remains totally unacceptable. It will leave stations dangerously understaffed and it will put members working on stations in an impossible position.
