59 Jobs Restored in Revised Rosters: RMT tells LU this is totally unacceptable

London Underground has finally revealed its revised staffing figure for our stations. After 7 months of discussions, around the rosters in every area, 59 jobs have been restored.

This means, taking into account the 64 jobs won back in earlier talks, that LU now plans 838 job cuts instead of 953.

We have won 115 jobs back in talks but we have made it clear to the company at today’s meeting that 838 cuts remains totally unacceptable. It will leave stations dangerously understaffed and it will put members working on stations in an impossible position.

RMT is now preparing to ballot all LU members over pay & night-tube and a concurrent ballot will take place of all station staff over outstanding issues relating to our Every Job Matters campaign. We continue to oppose the ticket office closure plan and will fight LU over job numbers, displacements and the company’s attempt to rip up our framework agreement, job descriptions, transfer & promotion rights and other agreements.
