Abolition of Night Tube grade dispute upcoming action suspended

TO ALL TRAIN OPERATOR MEMBERS

Dear Colleagues,

ACTION SUSPENDED

ABOLITION OF NIGHT TUBE TRAIN OPERATOR GRADE - LONDON UNDERGROUND

I write to advise you that your NEC has decided to suspend the industrial action in this dispute planned to take place from 12:00 on Tuesday 3rd August 2021 and members are instructed to work normally on the following days:

• 12:00 hours on Tuesday 3rd August 2021 to 11.59 hours on Wednesday 4th August 2021

• 12:00 hours on Thursday 5th August 2021 to 11.59 hours on Friday 6th August 2021

This instruction follows a period of intensive discussion under the auspices of ACAS to ensure that enough movement was achieved to allow these talks to continue with a realistic prospect of success.

This week's strike action is suspended to allow further talks although the rest of the planned industrial action is still planned to take place later in the month.

Our members and reps whose unity and resolve has allowed this stage to be reached today are commended and we look forward to pursuing the other important issues at the heart of this dispute in the next phase of the talks.

I will of course keep you updated with all further developments in this matter and will write to you in due course.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Lynch
General Secretary
