Piccadilly Line reps obstructed from carrying out union duties by bosses

We note the resolution from our Finsbury Park Branch; and that a dispute situation is arising due to the intolerable behaviour from management understaffing Train Ops on the Piccadilly Line, attacking our Members through draconian use of the attendance procedures, breaching agreements and obstructing our representatives’ trades union duties.

Elections for the pensions Consultative committee

 

It’s that time again when there are elections for staff representatives to sit on the pensions committee to keep an eye on our money.

 

The voting paperwork is now out and the main thing is we need to get the right people on there with the experience and knowledge to look after our money in the proper way, and to keep an eye on what LUL and the government are trying to do with our fund.
