From RMT General Secretary Bob Crow

BULLYING & INTIMIDATION, TRAVEL SAFE OFFICERS – STM SECURITY GROUP (UK) LTD (LOROL CONTRACT)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: ALL INDUSTRIAL ACTION IS SUSPENDED

Further to my letter dated 29th November 2012 in relation to the above matter, I can confirm that your union has entered into talks with London Overground in relation to the role and responsibility of the Travel Safe Officer. London Overground has agreed that the TSOs would be better off working directly for LOROL rather than for STM and talks will begin in January to discuss the logistics of bringing your work back in-house.

Having considered this matter, the union’s executive has decided to suspend the industrial action to allow these talks to take place. Therefore the strike action which was due to begin at midnight (00.01 on Thursday 6th December 2012) has been suspended. You are instructed to work as normal on 6th December 2012. I would like to reiterate that the union is only suspending the current strike action, if no progress is made in the talks with LOROL, more industrial action may have to be called.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you all on standing firm against STM; it is a testament to the solidarity of our members that we were able to secure this result. I will, of course, keep you fully advised on any further developments.

Yours sincerely
