Subject: DISABILITY DISCRIMINATION – LONDON UNDERGROUND
That we note the resolution from our Bakerloo Line Branch and agree that its not enough for the company to portray themselves as a progressive equal opportunities employer to staff and publicly, if they allow their junior managers to regularly attempt to unpick agreed reasonable working adjustments for our member; which will have a potential impact on all our disabled members of staff.
We instruct the General Secretary to take up the matter in-line with the resolution:
- To support our member in pursuing an ET claim for disability discrimination against the company.
- To make representations, via the relevant channels of LU machinery, to the company that any attempt to revoke the agreement to our member's disadvantage will result in a dispute.
- In anticipation of such an eventuality, to prepare an industrial action ballot of all station grades members on the Bakerloo North Cover Group, with a view to escalation as and when necessary”.
Further; we instruct the General Secretary to place an updated report regarding the outcome of our member's appeal back in front of this NEC.
Members to be advised by email & text.
All operational London Underground branches & the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.
- for full details of this decision please attend your branch meeting
