For the latest on our fight against job cuts on London Underground go to our campaign Every Job Matters .
In the July edition of Bakerloo News:
As you may be aware our power control room members are currently taking industrial action. This action started at 20.00hrs on July 1st and is scheduled to run until the 20.00hrs on July 15th.
The Train’s Safety Council met with management prior to earlier planned action by these workers to discuss how this would impact on the safety of drivers.
Please see the download showing the number of jobs to be cut under LU's proposals.
The figures are complied by cover area. These are the areas over which cover is organised in the new proposed model. The areas included in each cover area are shown.
Local reps should study these figures and communicate them to all members.

MORE STAFF FOR BANK GROUP? YOUR HELP REQUIRED!
RMT put the case for more staff on the group, in particular:
If there are other specific times and locations which you would like to be considered, please let me know.
Management agreed to put together a ‘business case’ for these. But we need evidence!
RMT, London Underground and other unions are involved in ongoing talks regarding 'Fit for the Future: Stations' plans. Our succesful industrial action has secured further and more detailed talks which include a station by station review. This could be a positive step but tube bosses propose to carry it out in a very short amount of time.
With strike action solid this morning, tube union RMT reminded Mayor Boris Johnson of his repeated promises not to close tube ticket offices – broken promises that run right to the heart of the dispute.
Asked last year about his plans to close a number of ticket offices across London, Boris Johnson's spokesperson said:
"This Mayor takes his promis es to Londoners extremely seriously. Every station that has a ticket office will continue to have one.”
Talks reveal cuts will affect all station staff. LU remains determined to cut 953 jobs and won’t guarantee to protect wages. It’s time to strike again!
