News, reports and information for RMT members who work for London Underground Ltd
RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note the report from our Regional Organiser. We welcome and accept his view that our concerns regarding return to work interviews and the same manager carrying out fact-finding and disciplinary interviews are now resolved.
RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note the correspondence from London Underground inviting us to discuss Professor Goodman’s report on Industrial Relations. We further note that we are currently seeking views and comments from our Regional Organiser, branches and representatives about this report.
We are of course willing to discuss improving industrial relations on London Underground, and will consider London Underground’s invitation once we have received and discussed the responses we have sought.
RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note the resolution from our London Transport Regional Council and share its determination to protect members’ jobs and London Underground staffing levels. London Underground has already cut staffing levels to dangerously low levels, and should be considering increasing rather than further cutting them.
We instruct the General Secretary to ensure that the points outlined in the resolution have been raised with London Underground, and to place a report in front of us of the company’s response.

RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note the legal advice received on this matter.
While we are disappointed that our advisers believe that there is no legal avenue to compel London Underground to allow trade union representatives to accompany members at Rainbow Attendance Review meetings, we welcome the advice that it may be possible to pursue legal claims arising from London Underground Ltd’s apparent unilateral change to its attendance policy.
We therefore instruct the General Secretary to:
This is the bulletin and related question and answer sheet regarding the Olympic offer made by LUL to 'all permanent staff (including those on fixed-term contracts) employed by LU ..., excluding those covered by the Senior Manager Reward Framework'
