Transformation

We are nearing the end of Transformation. This has been a long and stressful process for all of our members who have been involved. Throughout the consultation, management have ignored many of the concerns raised by our reps and members, and have refused to share detailed plans of how things will actually work post-implementation. A number of managers who have been leading Transformation are leaving the company and this has been notable by the differences in consultation between work streams.

Subject: TFL TRANSFORMATION

We note the concerns of our LU Engineering Branch that LUL are now informing staff that they are intent on ignoring our jobs for life deal (Annex H, PPP Code of Best Practice) and have stated that people may be made compulsory redundant.

Your reps have now seen the outcome of the preferencing exercise for Station Admin staff. We again stressed to the company that the RMT does not and cannot agree to our members having to reapply for their own jobs. We believe that you all do a fantastic job and are fully capable to continue doing so, without the need to be put under stress or humiliation by having to sit an exam in a classroom to carry on in the role you are currently carrying out successfully.

Your London Underground Transformation Reps wanted to provide you with an update on how consultation is progressing.

Throughout consultation, we have opposed any job losses ad will continue to do so. We have scrutinised pooling documents and questioned the company’s rationale on many of the pools. We have successfully changed a number of pools and had people moved into the correct pools when the company have misplaced them. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to successfully achieve this in all cases and are pursuing those on an individual basis.

As part of the transformation consultation, the RMT have organised a Mass Meeting to feedback to our members involved in this reorganisation and decide our next course of action.

The meeting will take place at 14:00 - 16:00, Tuesday 8th May in the Mahatma Ghandi Hall, Indian YMCA, 41 Fitzroy Square, London W1T 6AQ.

(The nearest station are Great Portland St or Warren St Tubes)

The agenda for the meeting is:

1. Feedback and Reports from the Negotiating Reps on TfL, LUL and JNP

2. Questions from the floor, and then a response from your reps.

Please see the attached letter that was sent to London Underground, raising concerns of our ex-TubeLines members who are at a significant detriment through Transformation, compared to other members

Your MATS reps, along with the other unions, met with London Underground on 29/03/18 for the latest consultation meeting. We raised a number of issues in the meeting including:

• Preferencing forms sent out with agreement

Your RMT reps, along with the other unions, were due to meet London Underground today (03/04/18) for the latest consultation meeting. Unfortunately, the company have cancelled today’s meeting.

Dear Colleagues

Update on the Status of LU Transformation

Since the details of common principles for all work-streams were agreed, we have been working on the details of 18 separate work streams - examining the possibilities and consequences of individual pools – this has slowed progress significantly as the workload is considerable. Furthermore and more importantly, we have tabled counterproposals and challenged the designs put forward to us as well as arguing points of principle.

Our objectives thus far have been relatively simple:

Your Transformation reps were due to meeting today (27/03/18) with London Underground, however, this meeting has been postponed until Thursday 29^th March. We will give you a full update after that meeting, but this is the latest update.
