4-DAY WORKING WEEK, TRAIN OPERATORS - LONDON UNDERGROUND

The referendum concluded with an overwhelming rejection of the Company's proposals and I advised the Company that RMT now expects the proposals to be withdrawn (IR/127/25, 1st April 2025). Instead, the Company has arranged further meetings to discuss its proposals in more detail at Trains Functional Council level.

RMT Upfront is the newsletter for train drivers, produced by the RMT. In this edition we look at London Underground's proposals for a compressed working week and what they would expect us to give up in order to - possibly - get it.

You can download the document to read it. You may also wish to print it out and share it in your train crew accomodation.

Dear Colleague,

REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND

All Train Operator and Instructor Operator members on the Bakerloo Line, District Line, Central Line, Hammersmith & City Line, Jubilee Line and Victoria Line have been taking action to physically check their train before detraining. Now due to the anti-trade union laws, this ballot mandate will expire and it is necessary to ballot members again for this action to continue.

I have produced a leaflet here and would ask you to circulate the leaflet as widely as possible.
