Defend the London Bridge 3
DEFEND THE LONDON BRIDGE 3 - VOTE YES
All,
Most L1 reps will have had my previous email on this subject but I have updated my list so a few of you will be getting this for the first time.
The issue of achieving better roster balance in terms of extreme shifts and weekend rest days was put at the centre of talks about additional jobs.
We now have a published proposal for 325 new jobs. This is testament to the work done by reps and members in delivering our stations strike in January. We must now ensure that the new jobs we’ve won are used to meet the demands of our members.
London Underground has announced plans to remove tunnel telephone wires despite the concerns of RMT members.
Following the announcement of the decision, several branches passed the following motion:
This branch is concerned to learn of London Underground's plans to remove all tunnel telephone wires from the tube network.
