Central Line Management are reneging on the agreement reached at ACAS
Meeting

22nd November 2019​

BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, TRAIN OPERATORS, CENTRAL LINE- LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/399/19, 2nd October 2019), I have received a resolution from our Central Line East Branch advising that Central Line Management are reneging on the recent agreement reached at ACAS. The Branch believes that London Underground is not adhering to the letter or the spirit of our agreement and that our members are suffering at the hands of overzealous managers who apply disciplinary actions with no discretion irrespective of the member's case.

This matter has been considered by the National Executive Committee, which has noted the appalling treatment of our Driver members and that Central Line Management are reneging on the agreement reached at ACAS, especially when in trust we had suspended strike action.

I have been instructed to arrange an emergency meeting of our TFC rep, industrial reps, Lead Officer, Senior Assistant General Secretary and NEC members to discuss immediate preparations to ballot all of our Train Driver members of Central Line East Branch. This meeting is currently being arranged and I will keep you advised of all further developments in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Mick Cash
General Secretary
