We note the correspondence from ISS and the report from our Regional Organiser. We refute the employer’s claim that this union ever agreed to biometric booking-on in any form.
We note the correspondence from London Underground Ltd and the report from our Regional Organiser. We are totally opposed to LUL’s stated intention to reduce night station supervisor cover, and introduce mobile or remote supervision of stations.
We share our RO’s belief that this is an all-out attempt to de-staff and weaken our agreements for all LUL station grades, which we must resist.
We note the report from our Regional Organiser, that this survey is now closed and that London Underground management have stated that they will forward the results to us once collated. We instruct the General Secretary to place this in front of us once received.
London Transport Regional Council and branches to be advised.
We note the resolution from our Central Line East branch and share its disgust at the disciplinary action taken against Brother Woods.
We instruct the General Secretary to
1. immediately prepare a ballot matrix of members on Central Line East stations group
2. urgently contact London Underground Ltd insisting that it completely exonerate Brother Woods
3. place this matter in front of us on receipt of LUL’s response, or any other update on the disciplinary process, and in any case within 21 days, at which point we will consider conducting a ballot for industrial action.
We note the correspondence from Transport for London and the report from our Regional Organiser. These confirm that the long service awards do not keep pace with the cost of living, and that further, the award for 25 years service with TfL has been cut from £350 to £250. Although the company points out that the award for 40 years service increases from £600 to £700, significantly more people reach 25 years service than 40 years, and therefore this is an overall cut.
We note the resolution from our Bakerloo line branch and share its view that the 12.5% funding cut to Transport for London will be devastating. This union is determined to resist this cut and its negative impact on our members, the travelling public, and London's communities. We will pursue this battle with all means at our disposal, up to and including co-ordinated industrial action.

From RMT General Secretary Bob Crow
The General Grades Committee has considered this matter and has taken the following decision:
Transport union RMT today demanded an end to what it described as “blatant rail racketeering” as statistics released this week by the Office of Rail Regulation show that walk-on passengers, who buy their tickets on the day of travel, have seen prices rise by 23.1 per cent in real terms over the past nine years.
Nothing highlights the growing rail fares scandal more than the fact a walk-on return fare from London to Newcastle costs £301, more than a round trip flight to New York. Skyscanner are advertising return trips to the States for £298 today.
We note the report from the meeting of our London Cycle Hire representatives and members, who are determined to pursue their fight for better treatment at work.
Accordingly, we instruct the General Secretary to:
