What is a National Executive Committee decision?

This article is an 'executive decision' which has been written by the RMT National Executive Committee. The National Executive is the union's governing body in between AGMs. Its decisions set out what the union will do on a particular issue.

These decisions can often be brief, and may be one of several passed over a period of time. To get a better understanding or find out more information about what the RMT is doing, speak to your rep or attend your branch or Regional Council meeting.

RMT & ASLEF Joint Action For Passenger Safety

We note that further discussions have taken place to arrange synchronisation with ASLEF for the Bakerloo line action. We therefore instruct the General Secretary to cancel our industrial action on the Bakerloo line only starting at 00:01 on Thursday 10 January and to begin the action instead at 00:01 on Tuesday 15 January. The industrial action remains the same as in our previous instruction and is to run until further notice; and the timing of the industrial action on the Central line remains unchanged.

We welcome our Bakerloo line branch's plans to organise for this action, and offer all necessary support.

We further note the report from our Regional Organiser regarding station staff involvement in our campaign for the restoration and retention of detrainment staff. We note that both our Central line branches are to discuss this matter at their meetings on Thursday 10 January, and ask the General Secretary to obtain feedback from these discussions and place it in front of us.

Finally, we instruct the General Secretary to obtain an update on negotiations on this matter, and to obtain and place on file minutes of all previous meetings with the employer, and any agreements reached, including those related to the scrapping of the detrainment posts on the Bakerloo line.

London Transport Regional Council and branches to be advised.
