Dear RMT members,
Today myself and RMT Piccadilly line reps met the company at ACAS. Aslef were there as well.
We laid out a clear way to resolve this dispute. We insisted that the six warnings at Oakwood were cancelled and a Directors review be called for another specific case.
Both were answered with a "no" and an extremely hostile management approach
We would have been prepared to outline a working plan to resolve other key issues with timetabled resolution talks to be led by a General Manager but managment thwarted that.
