Further to my previous Circular (IR/150/15, 15th June 2015), members will be aware that we are currently conducting a number of ballots for London Underground members including the above over the unacceptable pay offer from management and the associated compensation and recognition for members in respect of Night Tube. If any member has not received their ballot paper(s) please ask them to call the RMT Freephone Helpline number on 0800 376 3706.

Dear Colleagues,

The proposed Tory anti-union laws would outlaw strikes if less than 50% of members voted in a ballot with an even stricter threshold for workers in ‘essential’ services. If these laws come in unchallenged, bosses will ride roughshod over all our workplace agreements and victimise our union reps.

It is now vital we mobilise on the streets for 20th June demo outside the Bank of England (Queen Victoria St) City of London (nearest tube: Bank) and show the full force of anti-austerity opinion by ensuring this demonstration is the biggest protest seen in London for years.

Important discussions to be had and decisions to be made about night tube; pay; fit for the future- ticket office closures, new rosters; ballots & industrial action Plus we have MP John McDonnell attending.
