CARRYING OUT OUR 2019 PLAN
7 resolutions were passed at the National Disabled Members’ Conference this year. 2 were selected to the AGM (Reasonable Adjustments and Mental Health Awareness) and the other 5 were considered by the NEC.
i. Personality Testing
“The conference notes that:
Tube union RMT today accused London Underground bosses of stringing staff along and playing fast and loose after an eighth day of pay talks yesterday failed to lever any king of meaningful offer out of the management side.
The union says it is both angry and frustrated at what it sees as blatant delaying tactics and is now stepping up preparations for a strike ballot across the tube network.
RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said;
Dear Colleagues,
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2019 - LONDON UNDERGROUND
As you are aware, RMT is currently in dispute with LUL over the lack of a forthcoming suitable pay offer from the Company and LUL is aware that we are currently preparing to ballot you all for industrial action, up to and including strike action across the network, over this matter. We have made it abundantly clear to the Company that we will not rest until all LUL members get a proper pay award and genuine improvements to your terms and conditions.
