From RMT official circular IR/97/09, dated 19th March 2009
I write to confirm the final arrangements for the above ballot. The ballot papers were sent out on 19th March 2009 and the new closing date is Friday 27th March 2009.
Please note that that due to legal reasons Arnos Grove and Acton Town will be balloted separately however, it remains a single dispute
I urge RMT Drivers on the Piccadilly Line to return their ballot papers in the envelopes provided upon receiving them, to show management that the Union and our members will not be trampled on.
Yours Sincerely

From RMT official circular IR/86/09, dated 17th March 2009
I have been informed that LUL are trialling a minimum £5 Oyster top – up. LUL are stating that this is to help commuters to speed up their journey and shorten queues.
RMT’s view is that this is clearly targeted at poor people including pensioners and the unemployed.
While claiming to be an attempt to cut queues it is in fact part of an attempt to find ways of reducing the services to passengers and to undermine ticket offices.
Yours Sincerely
Bob Crow General Secretary
From RMT official circular IR/86/09, dated 17th March 2009
It has come to my attention that LUL management have changed the way they conduct disciplinary hearings (CDIs). They have started to routinely involve a PMA, or People Management Advisor to the CDI. In our view the PMA is not independent but is part of the Management team. This effectively adds a third person to the disciplinary panel and is therefore outside the LUL disciplinary procedure as well as a change to existing practices.

Dear Comrades
Although this is a situation that may be completely new to a lot of you, because of TfL’s total intransigence on this year’s pay claim and the spectre of thousands of job cuts over the next couple of years, the RMT in support of its members has taken the decision to ballot for industrial action.
This decision has not been taken lightly. It is the culmination of many branch meetings across TfL, and following management and Trade Union meetings at the company council.
This leaflet is aimed at all members involved in the current dispute over pay, job security and management persecution of staff. Click '1 attachment'/file name to download it. Read the text below.
