Local reps will now be scruitinising LU's proposed new rosters that will include the 325 additional jobs promised as part of our ACAS agreement following our fantastic strike action in January.

There is still some work to be done before we can be happy with the proposals to address lone working and roster balance but significant progress has been made.

Speak to your local rep for more detail about what is proposed for your area.

Executive decision on Picc Line Workshop staff action

Submitted by Admin on 12 July, 2017 - 13:54

We salute the determination of our Members in the rock solid ballot turnout and yes vote in their resolve to halt the attempted introduction of a two-tier work force in the LU Piccadilly Line Fleet area; with all the detriments encapsulated for our present members; and to seek proper ongoing employment for future members joining the company.

We also note the report from our Lead Officer and that some movement was secured at yesterday’s Director level meeting; but not enough in terms of our Members aspirations.

RMT calls poor air quality on Tube 'a scandal'

Submitted by Admin on 10 July, 2017 - 02:26

The RMT has responded to a story in The Sunday Times on the poor air quality on the Tube.

General Secretary Mick Cash said;

"RMT has been raising issues of major concern over the contents of air for a long time . The response given to the Sunday Times is what the union has been fobbed off with before . It is simply not good enough to say it's different because it's underground.

Rmt demands immediate action as Tube workers denied drinking water in appalling heat.

Submitted by Admin on 8 July, 2017 - 16:52

RMT members employed as Train Drivers, Station staff, Track workers,Train Maintaince and other front line staff have been told by LUL that they will no longer be provided with decent drinking water whilst they at work. Instead, the normal standalone drinking water units are being stripped out in a cost cutting exercise.

RMT members are being told do take a mug of water off the tap, warm water which hasn't even been tested as fit for human consumption.

RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said;
