Special Bakerloo Branch Meeting 17/6/15

At the Royal Exchange, 26 Sale Place, Lancaster Gate, London, W2 1PU

An extra meeting to discuss organising to maximise turn out on the up coming ballot. It's important we get as large a YES vote returned as possible to send a clear message to LU.

With LU digging their heels in during negotiations on pay and night tube, not meaningfully responding our claims and pressing recklessly ahead with massive job cuts on our stations, it may be necessary for all underground workers to take industrial action.

Dear Colleagues,

EVERY JOB MATTERS – DEFENDING JOBS ON LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/5)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/144/15, 4th June 2015), the Company has been informed that we are in dispute over the following issues:-

The unacceptably high number of job losses
The unacceptable rosters being imposed on Station Staff, including lone working
The unacceptable displacement of huge numbers of staff on London Underground
Detrimental changes to employment policies

Four Tube Ballots Start Today

Ballot opens in disputes over tube night running, pay, staffing and use of agency staff
Balloting will begin amongst RMT members today in a series of disputes on London Underground, including the dispute over pay and night running, as the union warned that working conditions, pay, jobs and safety are facing an almost unprecedented assault which has united all four tube unions in a campaign of resistance.

Ballot papers will be distributed today, with voting closing on the 30th June, in separate industrial action votes over the following:

Demo: End Austerity Now

Dear Colleagues,

The proposed Tory anti-union laws would outlaw strikes if less than 50% of members voted in a ballot with an even stricter threshold for workers in ‘essential’ services. If these laws come in unchallenged, bosses will ride roughshod over all our workplace agreements and victimise our union reps.

It is now vital we mobilise on the streets for 20th June demo outside the Bank of England (Queen Victoria St) City of London (nearest tube: Bank) and show the full force of anti-austerity opinion by ensuring this demonstration is the biggest protest seen in London for years.
