Whilst we are working tirelessly to maintain good industrial relations at this difficult time our colleague remains dismissed, this is not good for him nor our critical workers who need every bit of support getting to where they need to by qualified and hardworking people like Ezra.

Low paid workers in London are the most vulnerable to the exploitation of contracting out.
The RMT demand a Labour Mayor brings a halt to the profiteering and abuse of London's workers by private contractors on London Underground.
A copy of a new contract that Interserve intend to introduce for staff on its LUL contract has recently been received and an initial consultation process has commenced. To date, one meeting has taken place with the Company and the Lead Officer has already had cause to write to Interserve to insist that there is no implementation until the consultation process has concluded. The Union will continue to monitor this situation.
The RMT are to hold a demo to bring the wider issues of cleaners on LUL straight to the Mayors. doorstep

Reports from Regional Organiser John Leach
RMT members from both LUL and FGW will be holding a rally at Paddington Station at the start of their respective strikes.
LUL have set out their stall to impose change on the workers and have been given the clearest response from the RMT.
92% of members voted for taking industrial action.
Equally impressive has been the response from our comrades on FGW who in a dispute over similar issues have voted overwhelmingly in favour of strikes.
Bar & buffet to commemorate the life of our former council of executive representative & Bakerloo branch secretary; RMT activist; dear friend and comrade Brian Munro.
