Your reps have now seen the outcome of the preferencing exercise for Station Admin staff. We again stressed to the company that the RMT does not and cannot agree to our members having to reapply for their own jobs. We believe that you all do a fantastic job and are fully capable to continue doing so, without the need to be put under stress or humiliation by having to sit an exam in a classroom to carry on in the role you are currently carrying out successfully.
Your London Underground Transformation Reps wanted to provide you with an update on how consultation is progressing.
Throughout consultation, we have opposed any job losses ad will continue to do so. We have scrutinised pooling documents and questioned the company’s rationale on many of the pools. We have successfully changed a number of pools and had people moved into the correct pools when the company have misplaced them. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to successfully achieve this in all cases and are pursuing those on an individual basis.
As part of the transformation consultation, the RMT have organised a Mass Meeting to feedback to our members involved in this reorganisation and decide our next course of action.
The meeting will take place at 14:00 - 16:00, Tuesday 8th May in the Mahatma Ghandi Hall, Indian YMCA, 41 Fitzroy Square, London W1T 6AQ.
(The nearest station are Great Portland St or Warren St Tubes)
The agenda for the meeting is:
1. Feedback and Reports from the Negotiating Reps on TfL, LUL and JNP
2. Questions from the floor, and then a response from your reps.
