This resolution, submitted by Neasden branch and seconded by Hammersmith & City branch, was passed unanimously at the November 2009 meeting of the Regional Council.

This Branch condemns the callous attitude shown by Management, particularly HR, towards apprentices and ex-apprentices and other groups of members in Service Control. The Management aim is to redeploy these members despite being promised jobs in Service Control.

Further to this we call on the General Secretary of this Union, Bob Crow to intercede to determine their lines of Representation within LUL and place them under the auspices of the Service Control Functional Council. They have arbitrarily been placed with MATS which does not believe they can effectively represent them.
