"The dangerous and chronic overcrowding on London Underground has worsened this morning with Kings Cross closed and Victoria diverting passengers during the peak.

Dear Colleagues,

EVERY JOB MATTERS – DEFENDING JOBS ON LONDON UNDERGROUND

As you will be aware, the new operating model in respect of Fit for the Future - Stations commenced on 7th February 2016 and I have received a resolution from our Central Line East Branch regarding this matter, which is as follows:-

“We note the following problems on the ‘vanguard groups’ (ie. those on which Fit for the Future – Stations has already been implemented) in our Branch’s area:

DISCIPLINARY, GLEN HART – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/4/4)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/029/16, 5th February 2016) and following the recent ballot result where RMT members voted ‘YES’ in favour of taking strike action and industrial action short of a strike this matter has been considered by the National Executive Committee, which has taken the decision to call an OVERTIME BAN:-

ALL LUL MEMBERS are therefore instructed NOT TO WORK ANY OVERTIME between 18:00 hours on Wednesday 2nd March and 17:59 hours on Thursday 3rd March 2016.

There are many questions regarding the changes that have been going on, Here are a few of the more common ones with some answers and the contact details of the Central Line East RMT Reps for help with the ones not answered here.
