You are reminded the H&C Branch Meeting will be taking place today, Wednesday 1st March 2023, as usual at 1500hrs. See the attached poster for further details.

Among important issues to discuss are:

  • The upcoming Strike Action on the 15th March
  • Stations Rostering Issues and potential to enter into Dispute
  • Locking/Opening Up of unmanned stations (particularly on the Ladbroke Grove Group)

Your Level 2 & Tier 2 reps will be available to give a report and answer any questions you may have.

All members welcome.

IMPORTANT- H&C February 2023 Branch Meeting CANCELLED

Submitted by HandC Branch on 24 January, 2023 - 10:48

IMPORTANT- The Hammersmith & City Branch Meeting is CANCELLED on the 1st February 2023.

This is due to lack of available Branch Officials. The Secretary is unavailable, and the assistant Branch Secretary has had to leave London at short notice, and also there is a National Rail Train Drivers strike on the same day.

We wouldn't usually cancel a meeting just because of a different TOC taking strike action, and this decision has not been taken lightly, but combined with the unavailability of Branch Officials we have been left with no option.

Your Branch Officials have made the decision to make tomorrows Branch Meeting, 27th July 2022, a Hybrid Zoom meeting. This is due to the National Rail strike affecting some TOCs.

We understand some members and reps who live outside of London would struggle to attend. Therefore we will use a laptop to make the meeting Hybrid.
