Ballot due over 'Fleet core working agreement' breach

BREACH OF CORE WORK AGREEMENT, CONTRACTING OUT AND USE OF SECONDARY CONTRACTORS – FLEET GRADES – LUL (LUL/13/1)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/111/16, 14th April 2016), members will recall the failure to agree over S-Stock Shoe Gear Replacements and Breaches of the Fleet Core Work Agreement. Following some further discussions with the Company, a report was received from the Lead Officer and the National Executive Committee has now taken the decision to inform LUL that we are in dispute and will be balloting members for strike action and action short of a strike. I am currently acting in accordance with this decision and will keep Branches advised of all further developments.
