We note the revised terms of reference received from London Underground Ltd.
We believe that these are currently insufficient. We are concerned that they suggest that the employer may wish to ‘water down’ the Machinery of Negotiation and Consultation. We are disappointed at London Underground Ltd’s failure to address basic industrial relations issues.
That we note the result of the ballot for action short of strikes is as follows:-
Total Votes Cast 103
Number Voting ‘Yes’ 101 (98%)
Number Voting ‘No’ 2
Spoilt Papers 0
We congratulate our members on their determination to resist this draconian attack on civil liberties. We instruct our members to take industrial action short of strikes from 00:01 on Thursday 19 September 2013 until further notice, by booking on and off duty using the established method and not using the biometric machines.

RMT is committed to fight against the 12% cuts demanded by Boris and enthusiastically carried out by LU management.
The most immediate target for LU, as they seek to wield the axe, will be ticket offices and station supervisors. Most members will, by now, have seen reports in the Standard as well as in London Calling of management’s plan to close all ticket offices and slash the number of supervisors by making each one cover up to five stations.
But the cuts demanded by Boris and LU will go much further than this.
This briefing itemises anti-trade-union legislation since 1980. It then looks further back into history, and examines some of the key issues in Britain's anti-union laws.

London Underground continually fails to open ticket offices because of staff shortages, as the board in the picture testifies.
How can it be thus, there were 33 agency workers sacked by LUL earlier this year? These workers were ticket office clerks, staff who would have been able to open ticket offices that LUL claim they have not enough staff for.
Referendum on Britain’s membership of the European Union
Congress notes the last referendum on Britain’s place in Europe was in 1975 in respect of membership of the Common Market.Since then there have been five further treaties, meaning the European Union now has a clear political as well as economic structure.
