New Decision from RMT Executive - Changes to Industrial Action

That we congratulate our London Underground members and those of TSSA for their display of unity and standing up to the threat of massive cuts in jobs and undermining of safety.

Our industrial action will continue unless Management sees sense and withdraws imposition of these totally unacceptable proposals.

The previous GGC decision of 25 August 2010 is amended as follows:

All members in the former Metronet Grades are instructed to take strike action and not to work from 19.00 hours on Sunday 3rd October until 18.59 hours on Monday 4th October. Nor from 19.00 hours on Tuesday 2nd November until 18.59 hours on Wednesday 3rd November Nor from 19.00 hours on Sunday 28th November until 18.59 hours on Monday 29th November.

All other LUL members are instructed not to book on for any shifts commencing between 18.29 hours on Sunday 3rd October until 18.28 hours on Monday 4th October Nor from 21.00 hours on Tuesday 2nd November until 20.59 hours on Wednesday 3rd November Nor from 18.29 hours on Sunday 28th November until 18.28 hours on Monday 29th November.

The ban on overtime remains in place until further notice.

From 00.01 hours on Sunday 3 October until further notice, all members are further instructed not to participate in the £5 minimum oyster top up; nor to carry out higher grade working in a station control room, nor in the role of Station Supervisor, nor to substitute for the Station Supervisor when the Supervisor is not available.

It is our intention to name further dates and to continue consultation with our representatives to consider variations to the times and forms of industrial action to achieve the maximum effect.

The General Secretary is instructed to liaise with the London Transport Regional Council and our sister union to conduct a public campaign seeking support across London and beyond from transport users, political parties, people with special needs, trade unions and others in our battle to defend jobs, safety and other basic working standards and to prevent the underground turning into a disaster area.
