LUL COO, Steve Griffiths, blaames the closures on "staff not booking on for overtime shifts". Nothing to do with 838 job cuts then!

Further to my circular IR/395/16 of 19th December 2016, the NEC further considered the matter just before Christmas.

Happy New Year to you all.

TUBE UNION RMT says that while strikes loom on London Underground middle managers have asked LUL Chief Operating Officer “How am I supposed to convince staff to break a strike/OT ban when I completely agree with many of the issues raised by the RMT?”
A leaked record of an “Area Managers Briefing” where senior Tube bosses met with area and line managers has exposed the chaos at London Underground stations following over 800 job cuts as part of LULs ‘Fit for the Future’ reorganisation that resulted in the closure of ticket offices on every station on the tube network.
