Following some very unsavory legal advice it now appears that jobs will be under threat when Metronet staff return to London Underground on 8th December. It appears that although all the staff are being tranferred to LUL, the contracts will remain with Metronet. This makes it possible for example that Metronet withdraw the contract from LUL and give it, let's say, to Balfour Beatty leaving the current Metronet employees jobless. The advice is provided in full underneath.

From Circular No. IR 283, November 27 2008
Dear Colleagues,
RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2009:
I write to confirm that a common claim for improvements to rates of pay and conditions of service in 2009 was formally lodged with all of the above employers last week. The basis of the claim is as follows:
Below is a question-and-answer briefing produced by LUL management to explain pay rates for working on New Year's Eve.
LUL produced this Q&A a year ago, and the only thing that has changed since then is that there are no longer payments for Operational Duty Managers.

These Q& A’s must be used in conjunction with the current Pay Arrangements for New Years Eve Payments.
