What is a National Executive Committee decision?

This article is an 'executive decision' which has been written by the RMT National Executive Committee. The National Executive is the union's governing body in between AGMs. Its decisions set out what the union will do on a particular issue.

These decisions can often be brief, and may be one of several passed over a period of time. To get a better understanding or find out more information about what the RMT is doing, speak to your rep or attend your branch or Regional Council meeting.

LUL Smoking Policy - Electronic Cigarette Use

This EC decision regards 'electronic cigarettes'

We note the reply from London Underground Ltd extending the deadline for our comments to Monday 3 June. We also note the feedback received from branches and representatives.

We believe that it would be appropriate for LUL to hold discussions with trade union representatives and work through the pros and cons of its proposal, including discussing the best ways to support people giving up smoking, rather than simply imposing a blanket ban without such discussion. We therefore instruct the General Secretary to reply to LUL seeking such discussions and to send a copy of the letter to the other recognised trade unions on London Underground.

London Transport Regional Council and branches to be advised.
