Following the announcement of the start of Night Tube, General Secretary Mick Cash said; “There are major unresolved issues in relation to the Tube Lines engineering workforce and it is imperative that the company now moves quickly to address the points at the core of that dispute and reaches a proper negotiated settlement with the union that doesn’t leave that essential group of workers disadvantaged on conditions and pensions.
Your workmates on the " Vanguard groups" of Leytonstone and Central line east want you to know what is happening since Fit for the future (stations) was imposed on 7th Feb. This is what awaits you all unless we stand up to London Underground and demand better.
