LUL Management Caught Out - Stations Operations Standards Manager?
No this is not an April fool. Although if you are a DSM you are not only being taken for a fool but being led up the garden path and out the door. In a recent recruitment campaign for Duty Station Manager when some of our members clicked on the link up popped an advert for “Stations Operations Standards Manager”. The company claim it was a typo error, Duty Station Manager to Stations Operations Standards
TUBE UNION RMT today demanded an urgent review of safety procedures and an assurance that crucial lessons have been learnt after an internal report into the flooding of Charing Cross station by water from the Trafalgar Square fountains two weeks ago revealed that the incident almost ended in disaster.
Tickets are now available for the RMT's annual Cuba Garden Party which will be held in association with the Cuba Solidarity Campaign.
The event takes place on the evening of Tuesday June 21, at Maritime House, Clapham, London
Dear Colleague,
1. National LGBT Members’ Conference - 13th May 2011 (EO/32)
From General Secretary Bob Crow
As previously advised we are balloting all Train Operators and Instructor Operators for strike action over LUL’s continuing victimisation of our representatives and activists. You should by now have received your ballot papers for strike action at your home addresses. If not you should urgently contact the RMT helpline on 0800 376 3706. I urge you to vote in favour of strike action to send a clear message to LUL that we will not tolerate the victimisation of our reps and activists such as Eamonn Lynch and Arwyn Thomas. The ballot is due to close on Wednesday 27th April 2011.
RMT mobilised its own large contingent for the TUC-organised 500,000-strong March for the Alternative through London on March 26, 2011. The demonstration sent a clear message to the ConDem government that its savage programme of cuts is unacceptable to the British public.

RMT General Grades Committee decision:
That we note the report from our Regional Organiser on the Support Services Review on London Underground. We accept the report, and in particular, endorse the appreciation he records for the work of our representatives, led by Jackie Darby and Roy Carey.
RMT General Grades Committee decision:
That we note the report from our Regional Organiser. We oppose TfL’s attempt to streamline its OCP policy in order to make it easier to make redundancies due to funding cuts.
We note that all unions have agreed to reject management’s proposal to deal with this at a joint meeting at Company Council level, and instruct the General Secretary to write to TfL/LUL accordingly; the reply to be placed in front of us.
