BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, SERVICE CONTROL, OSBORNE HOUSE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)
I previously advised you of the magnificent and unanimous 15-0 vote of our Service Controller members at Osborne House to take strike action (Ref: IR/023/20, 15th January 2020) over a breakdown in industrial relations at the location.
RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2019 - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/0001)
Consultation with our representatives has taken place since London Underground tabled its “full and final offer”, which I advised you of in a previous circular (Ref: IR/465/19, 15th November 2019).
To remind you, the offer tabled at that time was as follows:
· Year 1 - 2.7% (RPI Feb 2019 +0.2%)
· Year 2 - 1.4% plus 30 minute reduction in working week (three banked rest days - target implementation date: mid 2020)
· Year 3 - RPI Feb 2021 +0.2%
As I reported yesterday we met with the LUL Managing Director. This is an updated list of issues and demands that we made in the meeting. This morning I spoke to him again on the phone and emphasised the need to support the staff and contractors across the Underground.

In a recent incident at Dagenham Heathway, a customer smashed the SCP window with a bike lock. This is one of many reports we have received of physical and verbal
assaults on staff directly relating to the oyster card
deposit being withdrawn.
What this means in simple terms is, people who have purchased an oyster card on or after the 23rd February can no longer get their fiver back as it is now a non-
refundable charge.

RMT says London Mayor’s coronavirus transport cleaning announcement is completely inadequate
TUBE UNION RMT says that the London Mayor’s coronavirus transport cleaning announcement today is completely inadequate and calls into question the decision to privatise tube cleaning.
Responding to Mayor Sadiq Khan’s statement, RMT General Mick Cash said:
“The New York subway, where cleaning is done by directly employed staff in the public sector, will be deep-cleaned every three days, according to a recent announcement.
Here are some campaign materials, produced by activists, which you can use to build the ballot in our fight on the Tube for better pay and a shorter working week.
We will add to this list as more materials are produced.
