Dear drivers:
It is with regret that I have to inform you that despite attempts by the RMT to talk to Bakerloo management regarding our outstanding grievances around the imposition of WTT39 and the issue of across the board 26 week warnings issued at LDIs, we are no further forward.
We requested an emergency meeting with management to discuss these issues almost two weeks ago. This was turned down on the basis that they could see no problem.
Our concerns remain:
Emergency Bakerloo Branch Meeting
Emergency Bakerloo Branch Meeting
Management have refused our request for an emergency meeting to discuss:
-The lack of consultation over changes to duties included in WTT39
-The issuing of maximum 26 week warning at almost all attendance LDIs
We will be meeting to get as many of your views as possible and discuss what we do next.
The meeting will be at 1400hrs on Friday 22nd November at the Clachan pub, Kingly Street.
Five minutes walk from Oxford Circus station.
Unity is Strength
Join The Rally - No Cuts On The Tube
A members' rally is being held on the 26th of November at Friends House 173 Euston Road 2BJ at 1830 for RMT members on the tube to discuss and contribute to the discussion on how to tackle expected cuts across London Underground.
We are expecting an announcement of cuts on the 21st; so this rally will be an ideal opportunity to find out what is going on and how as a union we can respond.
All members are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Lethal programme of Tube cuts to be announced tomorrow
Submitted by rmtlondon on 20 November, 2013 - 08:47TUBE UNION RMT warned today that they have been notified by London Underground that a major announcement on jobs, services and safety cuts is due to made to senior union representatives at 9am tomorrow – Thursday 21st November.
The announcement was trailed by tube boss Mike Brown at a recent meeting of the London Assembly where he confirmed that ticket offices, station and platform staffing and other safety critical posts would be threatened in response to £225 million annual cuts imposed on TFL in the Government Spending Review.
Blog: The Wage Gap
Submitted by Admin on 20 November, 2013 - 02:11The Evening Standard ran an article today on the top earners at London Underground. Managing Director Mike Brown it states earned £476,00. TfL Commissioner Peter Hendy meanwhile earned £652,000 - 33 times that of one of TfL's lowest wage earners on £20k. If you take into account contracted workers, at the bottom of the wage pile such as cleaners and canteen staff, that difference in wage grows even further.
