Ballot matrix prepared after LU disciplines victim of passenger abuse

DISCIPLINARY, S. KYEI-DONKOH, CSA, PICCADILLY CIRCUS – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/4/4)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/119/19, 27th March 2019), I advised the Company that if any disciplinary action was taken against Sister Kyei-Donkoh following an incident where Sophie was abused by a well-known and repeatedly offensive passenger, then a dispute situation would exist between us.

The Company advised that a disciplinary hearing took place and Sister Kyei-Donkoh received a 52-week Final Written Warning. The National Executive Committee has considered this matter and taken the decision to declare a dispute situation and prepare a ballot matrix of all Station Grades members at Piccadilly Circus. Further, to arrange a meeting of all Station IR and H&S Reps from the Bakerloo Branch with the Lead Officer, Senior Assistant General Secretary and NEC in attendance.

I am currently acting in accordance with the above decision and will keep Branches advised of all further developments.

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash

General Secretary
