REDUCED DRIVER TRAINING - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/11/1)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/048/22), dated 11th February 2022, the Piccadilly and District West RMT Branch submitted a resolution regarding the unacceptable imposition of poor-quality training on the Piccadilly Line.

This matter has been considered by the National Executive Committee which took the decision to enter a dispute with London Underground and to ballot all Piccadilly Line Train Operators for industrial action to demand that training standards are maintained.

Dear Colleagues,

DEFENDING JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

In the run up to ACAS talks between London Underground and RMT, National Executive Committee rep Jared Wood says:

"we are not prepared to accept the managed decline of our public transport system, we are not prepared to accept the managed decline of services and we are not prepared to accept the managed decline of jobs, working arrangements or pensions."

After a rock solid strike on London Underground, RMT prepares to return to ACAS with a simple message: Do not mess with our pension, jobs or terms & agreements.

Watch RMT Regional Organiser John Leach on BBC Politics today explaining why we took rock solid industrial action in our dispute to defend jobs, pensions and agreements.

"[Tube workers are] the fantastic men and women who kept London moving throughout the pandemic, the front line of the front line, pre-vaccine, losing members throughout that, kept the capital city going."

• See the interview on BBC Politics here.

• Strike action goes ahead on tube tomorrow as planned as RMT accuses Mayor of trying to blame workers for TFL financial crisis.

RMT accused Mayor Sadiq Khan of playing to the gallery, instead of pressuring ministers to deliver a long-term funding deal for TfL, ahead of another 24-hour stoppage on the tube network tomorrow which goes ahead as planned.

Speaking to the media yesterday (Tuesday), Mayor Khan told striking workers to "wake up and smell the coffee" and that industrial action would not make securing a deal with the government any easier.

No cuts to Tube jobs and pensions

10,000 tube workers are taking strike action today, (Tuesday) after London Underground bosses refused to rule out job cuts and detrimental changes to pensions. RMT said that pickets are out in force at all key locations and that the action ‎is being solidly supported the length and breadth of the tube network.

Regional Organiser John Leach gives an update on the 'Defending Pensions, jobs and Agreements' dispute on the eve of the first of two 24 hour Tube strikes.
