FULL-TIME TRAIN OPERATOR POSITIONS, CONTRACTED HOURS AND OVERTIME RATE – NIGHT TUBE DRIVERS – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/88/17, 24^th February 2017), the ballot concluded with members voting as follows:-

Are you prepared to take strike action?

Total Votes Cast                64

Number Voting ‘Yes’           62

Number Voting ‘No’            2

Spoilt Papers                     0

Are you prepared to take industrial action short of a strike?

Total Votes Cast                64     

Number Voting ‘Yes’           63

Number Voting ‘No’            1

Spoilt Papers                     0       

The Night Tube Drivers are congratulated for returning a hugely strong vote for both strike action and action short of a strike and the National Executive Committee has considered this matter and taken the decision to instruct all Night Tube Train Operator members to take strike action by NOT BOOKING ON for any shifts that commence between:-

• 20:29 hours on Saturday 8^th April 2017 and 08:30 hours on Sunday 9^th April 2017
• 20:29 hours on Saturday 29^th April and 08:30 hours on Sunday 30^th April 2017

I urge all affected members to stand firm together during this action to fight against the blatant discrimination from London Underground and demand equal opportunity for career progression and fairness regarding overtime pay.
