BALLOT TO DEFEND THE LONDON BRIDGE 3

Ballot papers will be sent out on May 15 and must be returned by first post June 13 

It's important you vote. The new anti Trade Union laws impose a higher threshold on our ballots and a simple majority is not sufficient.

Defend the London Bridge 3

DEFEND THE LONDON BRIDGE 3 - VOTE YES

All,

Most L1 reps will have had my previous email on this subject but I have updated my list so a few of you will be getting this for the first time.

The issue of achieving better roster balance in terms of extreme shifts and weekend rest days was put at the centre of talks about additional jobs.

We now have a published proposal for 325 new jobs. This is testament to the work done by reps and members in delivering our stations strike in January. We must now ensure that the new jobs we’ve won are used to meet the demands of our members.

RMT station staff at London Bridge are to take strike action from 2200 May 7 until 2159 May 8 in defence of the London Bridge  3.

An action short of strike not to service POMs and not to challenge customers without valid tickets/oysters/bank cards will commence at 2200 on May 8.

The RMT National Executive have now escalated the dispute across all Revenue and Station grades on LUL.

Picket lines will be drawn from 2159 on Sunday May7.
