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.
"our members who wish to adhere to agreements made by this union may require the additional protection of ‘action short of strikes’ to defend their right to do so"
We note the report from our Regional Organiser, and the problems experienced recently with London Underground’s apparent failure to adhere to our Olympics agreement. We hope that these problems will be resolved.
However, should they not be resolved, our members who wish to adhere to agreements made by this union may require the additional protection of ‘action short of strikes’ to defend their right to do so despite agreements made by other unions.
We therefore instruct the General Secretary to conduct a ballot for industrial action short of strikes of all our members on London Underground, to close by Thursday 19 July at the latest. This ballot is to be kept under review, and regular reports are to be placed in front of us about the company’s adherence to our agreement, so that we may consider whether it remains necessary to proceed with this ballot.
We further instruct the General Secretary to send a personal letter by post to all members involved, explaining clearly the purpose of this ballot and urging them to vote Yes, and to provide regular updates to representatives and members.
