Dear RMT members
Today myself with RMT Piccadilly line reps and TFC met face to face with the LUL JNP Director, Piccadilly line General Manager and ER team at ACAS.
We were able to lay out in detail all of the issues effecting our members that need fixing on the line. We explained the anger of our members and our determination to get justice
Management have agreed to respond to us in writing early next week.
Accordingly we will attend ACAS next week to consider the LUL postion.
I will be in touch with you all after that.
In solidarity,
Your reps met again with the company on Wednesday (23/11/16), where we finally were given answers to some of the many questions we raised at the start of October. The discussions centred around the impact on our members, particulary the issues of pay, pensions and severence.

When the company announced that all DTSMs and TOSMs would have to attend a Development Centre as part of our roles changing, your union reps asked if they could attend the pilot event as observers. This request was denied and myself and another rep were booked on the first session so that we could see what they were like and advise our members.
Dear fellow Night Tube staff
From next Wednesday, RMT stations and revenue staff will be refusing to work overtime, as part of our campaign to restore cut jobs and improve working conditions for all station staff. That includes us. I am writing to urge you to take part in this action - in order words, NOT to work overtime.
As you all know Night Tube has been with us since mid August and will be across five lines by mid December.
Following the decision to employ NT Train Operators, the RMT made clear to LUL that we expected the same safety arrangements to be in place during night work as exists during the rest of the working day and that NT Train Operators,whilst working specific shifts, should feel as safe as their full time colleagues.
This matter has been considered by the National Executive Committee, which has taken the decision to call action and instruct ALL LUL STATION & REVENUE members NOT TO WORK ANY OVERTIME OR REST DAYS from 00:01 hours on Wednesday 23rd November 2016 until further notice.
Greetings Comrades.
Earler this year, our union the RMT lost one of our brightest upcoming stars.
He touched every part of our work including Youth, Black liberation struggle, Reparations.
