TRANSPORT UNION RMT confirmed today that it is in dispute with Serco Docklands and will be balloting for both strike action and action short of a strike.
In two separate disputes, RMT drivers will be striking on the Bakerloo and Northern lines, starting with the night duties tonight (Friday) and continuing all day tomorrow (Saturday).
Please join the picket lines. Your support will be welcome, whatever length of time you can stay.
From Bob Crow, RMT General Secretary:
Management, ourselves and TSSA have agreed to the resumption of talks in this dispute with detailed reviews now to take place which had previously been proposed at talks at ACAS in the run up to the last 24 hour strike. These proposals had been withdrawn once we had decided to press on with the last strike day. The reviews are listed below together with the number of representatives allocated to each.
