Subject: DISMISSAL, L. VIGO, TRAIN OPERATOR, BAKERLOO LINE – LUL

We congratulate our Bakerloo Line Branch, Trains Functional Council reps, the Lead Officer and Senior Assistant General Secretary on the re-instatement of Bro Vigo by London Underground on Tuesday at a resolution meeting with the Employment Tribunal Judge and London Underground management.

TRAIN PREPARATION SCHEDULE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/10)

The following resolution has been received from our East Ham Branch:-

“This branch notes the very dangerous intention by LU to change the train preparation schedule from every 24 hours to every 96 hours. London Underground are saying that this is as safe as 24 hours. No safety related submission has been provided to back this up. The company will effectively be running a train service with a large percentage of its train service unchecked for four days at a time.

DISMISSAL, L. VIGO, TRAIN OPERATOR, BAKERLOO LINE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/4/1)

Following a meeting with our Trains Functional Council reps, Bakerloo Line Trains IR reps and Senior Assistant General Secretary a clear way forward was reached in
relation to the appalling treatment of Bro Vigo who was sacked for obtaining a drink of water whilst on duty.
