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.
Further to our decision Gww 8/1/13, we note the report from our representatives' meeting held on 25 January.
We note that London Underground's Upgrades programme has a significant impact on many of our members, including providing a pretext for LUL management to attack jobs and conditions. It is therefore essential that we mobilise all our relevant representatives to work together in unity to secure the best possible outcome for our members and for the future of London Underground.
In line with our reps' agreed wishes, we affirm that at the point of delivery, upgrades issues should be consulted on at local level, and strongly object to management's reported refusal to engage with our local representatives. We therefore instruct the General Secretary to inform London Underground Limited that
it must consult all our relevant local representatives regarding S stock issues.
We further instruct the General Secretary to ensure the fullest possible communication and co-operation between all our affected representatives, including at local, Tier 2 and Upgrades levels. As one element of this, we instruct the General Secretary to arrange a meeting of our LU Trains Health & Safety Council
reps, LU Trains Council reps, LU Trains Upgrades rep, local representatives and health & safety representatives for train staff on sub-surface lines and service control representatives, to discuss and agree a summary of the current situation with the S Stock and an effective way forward. A report of this meeting is to be placed in front of us.
We reaffirm our demand that the Upgrades rep be fully integrated into the Tier 2 Trains Health & Safety Council in order to pursue the important work carried out by this post and so that important upgrades issues can be consulted at that forum, and remind our negotiators that we seek an early response from LUL to this demand.
Branches, London Transport Regional Council, its Train Grades Committee, LU Trains Health & Safety Council reps, LU Trains Council reps, LU Trains Upgrades rep, local representatives and health & safety representatives for train staff on sub- surface lines and service control representatives to be advised.
