“Tube worker Karen Guyott 'sacked for having epilepsy', say MPs”

Karen has worked for LUL for 8 years as a CSA. She has a condition that requires reasonable adjustments. LUL have used the FFFS medical questionnaire to ruthlessly sack Karen because of her epilepsy.
Karen was dismissed on Tuesday Feb 24 and her case was raised in a debate on epilepsy in the Houses of Parliament on Thursday 26 Feb by Kate Hoey MP

EJM - Talks update

RMT negotiators have had further meetings with LUL over the last week or so.

• SALARY GUARANTEE -

• MINIMAL DISPLACEMENTS-

• NO ASSESSMENTS -

• SS1 to be mapped over to CSM1

• SS2 to be mapped over to CSM2

LUL RENEGE ON THEIR COMMITMENTS ON EJM

NO SALARY GUARANTEE:
LUL withdraw their commitment to ensure no staff will be moved to a lower paid grade.
Despite Phil Hufton, COO, stating at ACAS in May 2014 “it would be morally wrong to take money off my staff”

3000 FORCED DISPLACEMENTS:

LU’s plans to trigger mass displacement of CSAs, SAMFs, SCRAs and Supervisors have been confirmed in talks about Fit for the Future..
We have been pushing the company to explain how widespread displacements will be avoided and to explain how the guarantee of being offered a role with no loss of pay can work with the new staffing model that LU is proposing.
Now we have an answer. In order for SSMFs, SAMFs and SCRAs to keep their substantive salary they will have to pass an assessment to prove they are competent for the new grade (CSS2 or CSS1).
