London Underground Managing Director Mike Brown said on the BBC News yesterday (25 April) evening that RMT had not made any constructive alternative proposals to its job cuts and ticket office closures. We have - LUL even wrote to John Leach acknowledging RMT's proposals and replying to them in detail! Here's the proof that Mike Brown lied.

A misleading bulletin has been sent out which says that all supervisors will get CSM jobs.

Here is the RMT's breakdown of what is actually on offer and how it will affect each grade.

SS1/SS2
Guaranteed a CSM position but location and CSM grading (1 or 2) decided by LU on assessment.

SSMF/SS3
- Guaranteed CSS post but while most SSMF/SS3s work in outer zones the CSS jobs will be mainly in Zone 1.

Dear Colleagues,

USE OF FINGER PRINTING TO BOOK ON – ISS (LUL CONTRACT)

I write to remind you that we remain in dispute with ISS over the planned introduction of Biometric Fingerprinting Machines for booking on for duty. We are totally opposed to this technology which we believe is a breach of civil liberties and a threat to your jobs. Members on the LUL contract voted ‘Yes’ in a ballot for industrial action and were instructed by the union not to use the new technology until further notice and to use the established booking on method. This action is still in place.
