Station strike called on 4th and 6th of October

Dear RMT Member,

DEFENDING JOBS, PENSIONS & AGREEMENTS – LONDON UNDERGROUND

STATIONS & REVENUE INDUSTRIAL ACTION CALLED

Your Lead Officer has consulted with your Stations Reps and received detailed feedback on members’ demands in response to LUL’s latest position and proposals regarding station staffing. A further presentation was made at Stations Functional Council recently to completely re-organise station areas which has only added to members anger over these attacks on your jobs and terms and conditions.

If allowed to go unchallenged, these attacks will see pay cuts, displacements, increased fatigue, and reduced service to vulnerable passengers and customer service to all. Despite previous commitments, LUL has failed to reinstate or upgrade any station positions.

Members latest demands for all Stations & Revenue grades include: Full lifetime protection of earnings for all displaced staff; A guarantee that no displaced staff will be subject to any financial detriment; All agreed reinstated jobs and CSA2 upgrades to be implemented without further delay and talks to continue on further additions; The proposed area restructuring and associated downgrading to be withdrawn. 

The National Executive Committee has considered this matter and taken the decision to instruct all Stations & Revenue grades to take strike action and not to book on for any shifts that commence between:

  • 00:01 hours and 23:59 hours on Wednesday 4th October 2023
  • 00:01 hours and 23:59 hours on Friday 6th October 2023

Also, to take action short of a strike and not work any Overtime or Rest Day Working from 00:01 hours on Sunday 15th October to 23:59 hours on Saturday 21st October

STAND FIRM TOGETHER – SUPPORT THE ACTION

SUPPORT YOUR UNION

I will keep you advised of all further developments.

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
