RMT suspends Central Line action and accuses LU of ten months of mismanagement that provoked disruption and discontent
TUBE UNION RMT confirmed today that it has suspended strike action over a sacked driver on the Central Line – due to start tomorrow evening – after the company waited ten months and left it right up to the wire before submitting important new evidence into the talks process. The company's brinkmanship means that the line has suffered ten months of disruption and discontent as a result of their mismanagement of a highly sensitive case.
The threat of strikes has secured significant concessions from London Underground management on the Bakerloo Line South Group.
The company has made an explicit commitment to scrap its previous policy of designating certain duties less important to cover, and shift to a policy of instructing managers to “make every effort” to cover all duties as a default.
Bosses have also committed to launch a review of the baseline staffing level, via which RMT reps will be making proposals for additional jobs.
Congratulations to all members who received 25/40 year long-serving member awards this evening.
Wishing you all a very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year x
