Using this site on London Underground's IT System

If you are using this site on London Underground's IT system, it probably looks very poor as LUL's web browser of choice - Internet Explorer 7 - is seven years old. However, you can now use a more recent browser: Mozilla Firefox.

To access Firefox, click the 'start' button, then select programs and 'Mozilla Firefox.' You should see an improvement on this and many other websites.

Firefox may not be available on all machines.

Major Victory For RMT As Tribunal Finds In Favour Of Sacked Boris Bike Worker Rep

Submitted by rmtlondon on 5 September, 2013 - 15:54

Transport union RMT has today secured a major victory in the Employment Tribunal over the victimisation and sacking of Zack Dahou, a key activist on the Serco Barclay’s “Boris Bikes” scheme.

In a 37 page judgment the tribunal found in RMT’s favour on both of the counts brought by the union, that Zack had been unfairly dismissed and that that dismissal was linked to his trade union activities. There will now be a formal remedies hearing.
