Thales Waterloo & palestra Members To Be Balloted Over New Rosters

A resolution has been received from our London Underground Engineering Branch concerning the above matter, which is as follows:-

“We note that Thales GTS are intent on forcing worse rosters, worse terms and conditions, less staff and more managers and compulsory redundancy on our members. Their senior management have made it clear that they have no intention of changing their organisational plans despite them having no logic and the strong counter proposals placed forward by the RMT.

We therefore ask the GGC to ballot all members at Waterloo and Palestra for both strike action and action short of strike.”

Having considered this resolution, the General Grades Committee has noted the resolution and that this represents a massive attack on our members and has therefore taken the decision to ballot all members at Waterloo and Palestra for both strike action and action short of strike action.

Preparations are currently being made to conduct this ballot and I shall advise you of the timetable in due course. I will keep you informed of all further developments.
