TRAIN PREPARATION SCHEDULE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/10)
The following resolution has been received from our East Ham Branch:-
“This branch notes the very dangerous intention by LU to change the train preparation schedule from every 24 hours to every 96 hours. London Underground are saying that this is as safe as 24 hours. No safety related submission has been provided to back this up. The company will effectively be running a train service with a large percentage of its train service unchecked for four days at a time.
REDUNDANCIES, STATION ADMIN STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/16/3)
The following resolution has been received from our East Ham Branch:-
“This branch is appalled by London Underground's proposals to significantly cut numbers of Stations Admin staff.
These cuts will cause unacceptable stress to our members, with increased workloads, significant changes to their roles and unsafe workloads. Additionally, this will create extra work for our station staff members, who will have to take on some of the responsibilities that currently fall to our admin members.
