INTRODUCTION OF WTT15 - TRAIN OPERATORS - JUBILEE LINE, LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)
The following resolution has been received from our Neasden Branch:-
“This branch notes that London Underground is proposing to introduce Working Timetable 15 from 20th May 2018.
Following a recent schedules meeting and scrutiny by our representatives it became clear that the introduction of WTT15 would increase the volume of weekend working which is in breach of the pay dispute resolution agreement dated 21st May 2016.
Dear member,
As we previously reported, your RMT reps rejected the new duty schedules for timetable 15 as they include an increase in weekend working. This matter was then taken up by RMT Trains Functional Council Reps with senior London Underground management. However, LU announced they would breach the 2015 pay deal and impost their new duty sheets on us.
The negative impact of our duty schedules is not a concern for our bosses as they don’t have to deal with thousands of passengers, do shifts, or work weekends. But for us on the front line, that is our lives.

RMT cleaners, security staff and travel safe officers on Docklands Light Railway will be taking strike action on New Year’s Eve over a comprehensive breakdown in industrial relations. The workers are employed by contractor ISS on the KAD contract.
The dispute has arisen over the failure to hold meaningful pay talks or provide a proper response to the union’s pay claim and the failure to resolve long standing issues.
RMT members working for ISS (KAD Contract) are instructed to not to book on for any turns of duty that commence between:-
Subject: BOXING DAY WORKING – LU ASSET OPERATIONS
We note the ballot result for strike action is:
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.
