Last week the LU Transformation reps from all four trade unions hosted a number of drop-in sessions with staff in scope from across all work streams. These sessions were booked at short notice, yet were very well attended. The company committed to releasing all staff to attend, so if you had any issue with this, please let your rep know and we'll insist that you are released for future sessions. On behalf of all of the reps, thank you for attending and the valuable feedback we received from you, which we can use to shape the upcoming consultation meetings with the company.

RMT asks management to reconsider offer to leapfrogged Night Tube drivers

Submitted by Admin on 4 December, 2017 - 11:45

UPDATE ON LEAP-FROGGED DRIVERS DIRECTORS MEETING.

Today the RMT and ASLEF met with Management concerning the leap-frogged drivers situation.

Management put a proposal that all 23 affected leap-frogged drivers would receive a days pay for every week that they were leap-frogged.

Management said that this was a "gratis payment" as the leap-frogged drivers did not work full-time during this period and it would be unfair to pay them for work that they never did.
