Subject: WORKING ARRANGEMENTS, NIGHT TUBE – LONDON UNDERGROUND
We note the resolution from Finsbury Park Branch and instruct the General Secretary to raise all the issues contained within the resolution with the company, and to report back to this NEC, branches and members on any progress made and on which matters remain outstanding.
We note that the last paragraph regarding Night Tube representation is currently being dealt with.
Night Tube Members to be advised.
Relevant Branches and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.
We note the report from our London Transport Regional Council regarding the recently changes to the TOPRA/TOSCA agreements; which clearly amount to an attack on our more recently employed Driver Members and the introduction of a discriminatory two tier approach for addressing SPADs.
We instruct the General Secretary to run a campaign of information on this issue, additionally to call a meeting of all train representatives consulting them on all
approaches up to and including the potential of a ballot for industrial actions.

UPDATE ON LEAP-FROGGED DRIVERS DIRECTORS MEETING.
Today the RMT and ASLEF met with Management concerning the leap-frogged drivers situation.
Management put a proposal that all 23 affected leap-frogged drivers would receive a days pay for every week that they were leap-frogged.
Management said that this was a "gratis payment" as the leap-frogged drivers did not work full-time during this period and it would be unfair to pay them for work that they never did.

Your Health & Safety commitee reps have recently attended a meeting with Learning and development with regard to changes to the Continuous Development Program. We were initially concerned that management were going to try to cut / water it down. This appears not to be on the cards at the moment. Although we still have issues with a number of lines only getting the 4 day rather than the 5 day to complete this vital refresher training.
