LUL use of Passport Identification for external workers

The following resolution submitted by LU Engineering branch was carried at the Regional Council meeting on 28th July.

LUL use of Passport Identification for external workers - submitted by LU Engineering
This Region condemns the culture of fear and exclusion that LUL are trying to instil on its external work force. People attending training courses are continually asked to produce proof of eligibility to work, despite being employed by LUL for many years and decades. It is our belief that other methods and processes can be used that are not so intrusive on our members personal details. We therefore call on the Council of Executives to:
• Start a campaign to raise awareness of this issue with our broader membership
• Produce a 'know your rights' leaflet with regards to producing documents continually proving eligibility to work (such as passports)
We contact LUL and TfL to investigate alternative methods to prove eligibility.
