News, reports and information for RMT members who work for London Underground Ltd
RMT Jubilee South branch meetings are held on pay day each month, at 1600 in a private room above the Blue Eyed Maid pub in Borough High Street. The closest tube station is London Bridge.
The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, 8th of June.
Functional and Health & Safety Reps will be at our next branch meeting to give important updates and to take questions.
Come along to hear:
TUBE UNION RMT today slammed the “disgusting and obscene spectacle” of nearly 50 senior TFL managers decked out in black-tie regalia at Mayfair’s luxury RAF Club as they celebrated the completion of a massive cuts programme that axes 800 safety-critical station staff and trashes 289 tube ticket offices.
RMT demands a “full and transparent formal investigation” into recent Canning Town overcrowding incident and calls for all London Underground station control rooms to be fully staffed.
The RMT has learned that London Underground has set the wheels in motion for ‘Fit for the Future: Trains.’ Currently named the ‘Trains Strategy Planning’, it is likely to be a piecemeal attempt initially; looking to squeeze more for less out of drivers and to look at the organisation of train side management.
