Fleet Industrial Action ballot Follows Mistreatment of Brother McKoy

Submitted by rmtlondon on 8 May, 2014 - 13:23

A resolution was received from our LU Fleet Branch to advise how their members are appalled at the treatment of Brother Ainsley McKoy by COO Operations management. This follows a COO Manager instigating disciplinary action against a Fleet member outside their sphere of influence, without any involvement by COO Fleet Management in the process. We believe this has serious implications across the whole of fleet and our Call Point Train Maintainers where any manager can discipline one of our members and bypass the whole COO Fleet process. This sets a very dangerous precedent.

A ballot for strike action and industrial action short of a strike was held of our Tube Lines members at Northfield Depot over a Breakdown in industrial relations. This dispute related to reports we had received that management had been riding roughshod over agreements relating to the Sickness and Attendance Procedures. They had also withheld sickpay, denied the right to raise a grievance as well as the right to trade union representation.

Further Dispute Gains Sees Tube Strike Suspended

Dear Colleagues,

STRIKE ACTION SUSPENDED – MEMBERS INSTRUCTED TO WORK NORMALLY

EVERY JOB MATTERS – DEFENDING JOBS ON LONDON UNDERGROUND

I wrote to you on Friday advising you that your negotiators believed that some progress had been made, but the company at the last minute decided to impose pre-conditions, including RMT calling off strike action and totally withdrawing from the current dispute, this would have meant a new ballot being required for any further industrial action.
