Further to my previous Circular (IR/034/15, 29th January 2015) the ballot for strike action has concluded and members are congratulated for returning a ‘yes’ vote and for the excellent support shown despite a massive campaign of misinformation and smears mounted by LU and TfL bosses and the media.
This morning myself and senior RMT Functional council reps attended a special meeting of the LUL company council to deal with this year’s pay claim.
LUL made the first offer of this pay round, we have agreed to go back tomorrow at 1000 to continue the discussion .

DISGUISED EMPLOYEES
Defend Noel Roberts or you could be next
Alex McGuigan was sacked following a flawed alcohol test which we believe resulted in a false result. We balloted for industrial action to defend Alex which resulted in a yes vote for strike.
There are lots of ways that you can help Alex get his job back, and help the union ensure that alcohol testing is fair and robust for all of us on London Underground.
RMT Bakerloo Line activists, Hands Off London Transport and community groups, will be taking the fight against staff cuts and the closure of tube ticket offices to the public next Wednesday – 25th February - between 8am and 10am and 4pm and 6pm hours with leafleting and petition signing outside Edgware Road (Bakerloo Line) station.
February issue of East Ham Branch newsletter
RMT Piccadilly and District West Branch and 'Hands Off London Transport' will be demonstrating and leafleting outside of Hounslow West station on Wednesday morning from 7 to 9 am.
London underground wants to close all ticket offices and cut around 850 jobs in a move which will see tube services reduced especially for those who need assistance most, and yet more relatively decent jobs lost in London.
Please join us as we send a message to London Underground bosses and Tory mayor Boris Johnson that we don't want austerity to destroy the tube.
Please print & share the attached leaflet giving you the facts about Noel's case and the shocking breaches of procedure by LU management
