Upfront is the newsletter for train drivers on London Underground. In this 'strike special' edition:
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
What does this mean
Bakerloo News is the newsletter of Bakerloo branch members of the RMT London Transport Region.
In this special strike edition:
Station grades have two compelling reasons to strike alongside all the LU recognised unions on 8/9 July.
Fit for the Future threatens to casualise our working lives and force us to work in chronically understaffed stations.
LU's attempt to impose Night Tube without sufficient staffing will mean working additional nights and weekends.
Please download and distribute the newsletter.
Printed copies will be available at Unity House from Friday afternoon.
Make sure someone from your group is able to pick up copies to get around to all station members.

The unrealistic and unfair thresholds the Tories and the Mayor wish to impose on Strike ballots have been well and truly hurdled by workers on the tube.
