BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, TRAIN OPERATORS, PICCADILLY LINE – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)
Further to my previous Circular (IR/175/15, 23rd July 2015), members will recall the General Grades Committee took the decision to declare a dispute situation with London Underground over a catalogue of issues affecting Train Operator and Instructor Operator members on the Piccadilly Line, which include:-
RMT on Waterloo and City Line strike action:
General Secretary Mick Cash said; "Our members from service control on the Waterloo and City Line are 100% united and solid in their action today as they fight for pay and grading justice. All they are asking for is to be treated the same as similar staff elsewhere on the Underground. Their claim is for basic fairness.
RMT London Calling has been updated, but is still a work in progress.
Please be patient as we continue to build and improve the site.
Any questions or comments can be made here.
If you post to the site, there will be some changes too, and more improvements will be added to make posting articles and using features such as adding images much easier.

Night tube deferred - doesn't mean our pay rise should be!
LU have suggested that they will not impose NT,but seek to come to an agreement with the RMT and other TUs.
This is obviously more preferable than having NT imposed and It comes with some obvious questions - not least being where's our pay increase?
We are patiently waiting for LUL to make us a decent offer.
But our patience is limited.
Our next RMT branch meeting will be on Wednesday 30th September at the Blue Eyed Maid in Borough High Street at 4pm. The nearest station is London Bridge. This will be an opportunity for RMT members to debate the Pay & Night Tube and Fit for the Future disputes, as well as local issues. All members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
