REAR M DOOR ALARM ACTIVATED ON JUBILEE LINE
LUL recently implemented a change to the Rule for dealing with a rear M door alarm activation on the Jubilee line. Previous to this change a Train Operator was asked to contact the Controller and then go back to investigate the activation. The Rule change is that the Train Operator would now contact the Controller, get authority to proceed in Restricted Manual and continue to next station.
Comrades
We met with management to discuss the Jubilee Line M Door issue, and a host of other issues at a recent Tier 2A meeting.
The upshot is, we are still no nearer a resolution on this issue. We will need another meeting to discuss the issue further, but in the meantime, management have a agreed not to ask any driver to carry on to the next station to check should they receive an M Door activated alarm. Drivers will be allowed to go back and check, even between stations.
London Underground - fingered again in unfair dismissal case
It is with boring monotony that LUL are continually caught out at Employment Tribunals for unfairly sacking members of their staff
The latest case is James Lambert, a CSA from Stratford whose heinous crimes were.....to be honest I am not sure.
He was accused of a racial assault on a security guard.
Found not guilty. In court
He was accused of assault on the security guard
Found not guilty. In court.
LUL sacked James for bringing the company into disrepute.
For being found not guilty? In court.
To kick off the strike action on London Underground the Jubille Branch will be having a picket line at London Bridge station on Wednesday July 8 at 1830.
Please make every effort to attend and serve notice to LUL that this strike will be supported by all the workers 100%
The branch will sit prior to the demo at The Blue Eyed Maid, Borough High St , nearest stations London Bridge and Borough.
Dear RMT members
Most of you will be aware that we have had a number of magnificent ballot results where members in our union in LUL as well as all of the other tube unions have voted overwhelmingly to fight back. We have four current disputes in LUL:
1. Pay and Night tube
2. Every job matters - defending jobs on London Underground
3. M Door safety alarm procedures - Jubilee Line
4. Introduction of Agency trainers - London Underground
Short guide to striking
When does it start?
The strike will start for Station Staff at 18.30 on Wednesday 8th July
What does this mean?
That if your duty starts after this time you do not report for duty until after the strike ends
What if my duty starts before this time?
If you have started your duty before 18.30 you complete that duty as normal.
When does the strike end
The strike ends for Station Staff at 18.29 Thursday 9th July
