Victoria Line Night Tube rosters to be discussed at reps meeting

NIGHT RUNNING – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/15/4)

The following resolution was recently received from our Finsbury Park Branch:-

“Finsbury Park Branch resolves to request an immediate ballot for strike action and action short of strike action of all our Victoria Line Train Operator members to resist the imposition of new duty rosters in connection with the start of night tube on 19thAugust.

These rosters are not acceptable to our members on the basis they have an adverse effect on their work/life balance and the usual protocols of consulting our local representatives have not been followed”.

A report was also received from the Lead Officer advising that further meetings are due to take place with the Company over the Victoria Line rosters but that as a precaution against imposition, members should be balloted in line with the above resolution.

The National Executive Committee took the decision to raise this matter for discussion at the Reps meeting on 27th July and also, due to the tight timeframes involved, to conduct a ballot of our Train Operator and Instructor Operator members on the Victoria Line for industrial action against the imposition of unacceptable rosters.

I am currently acting in accordance with the above decision and will keep you advised of all further developments.
