Dear colleague

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – NETWORK RAIL

After four days of talks at conciliation service Acas between your union and Network Rail management, the company has tabled a revised offer. Your Executive Committee has considered this offer and decided to suspend all industrial action which had been scheduled to take place on Monday 25th May and Tuesday 26th May 2015.

The suspension of the action will give your Executive Committee an opportunity to hold urgent consultations with your Area Council Representatives next week.

RMT Fights Against Rainbow Process As Fit For Work Member Sacked

Submitted by rmtlondon on 14 May, 2015 - 18:28

RAINBOW ATTENDANCE POLICY – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/5/9)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/100/15, 16th April 2015), a resolution regarding this matter has been received from the London Transport Regional Council, which notes the recent dismissal of Noel Roberts whilst fit and at work. This amounts to a capability/rainbow dismissal which is not a recognised nor agreed procedure with our Union and leaves all LUL members vulnerable to being sacked whilst fit and at work.

Push For Permanent Jobs For Fixed Term Contract Station Workers

Submitted by rmtlondon on 14 May, 2015 - 18:21

TRANSFER POLICY – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/16/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/70/15, 12th March 2015), this matter was raised at a Stations Functional Council meeting where a failure to agree was recorded over the Company refusing to honour its transfer procedure for station staff and I am currently seeking legal advice as to whether LUL’s action constitutes a breach of members’ contracts of employment.
