What is a National Executive Committee decision?
This article is an 'executive decision' which has been written by the RMT National Executive Committee. The National Executive is the union's governing body in between AGMs. Its decisions set out what the union will do on a particular issue.
These decisions can often be brief, and may be one of several passed over a period of time. To get a better understanding or find out more information about what the RMT is doing, speak to your rep or attend your branch or Regional Council meeting.
We note the resolution from our Central Line East Branch regarding the breakdown in the reasonable treatment of our members in relation to palatable drinking water, the serious health & safety issue for staff and the travelling public regarding the matter of the air quality which exceeds the expert recognised safety limits, and the appalling disregard for the safety of staff and public in relation to London Undergrounds insistence on introducing a HOT procedure that completely breaks with established and current approaches to dealing with suspect packages.
We further note that these last two issues are all being driven purely by financial considerations in complete disregard for our members and public alike and do not even pass the thin considerations of ALARP.
We further note that the Lead Officer and Senior H&S Reps are due a meeting this week with London Underground at Director level on the matters of chilled drinking water and air quality, and the London Mayor is being written to for an urgent meeting regarding the security situation.
Therefore, we instruct the General Secretary to place a report back before this NEC for Tuesday 25 th July 2017.
All relevant Branches and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.
