Fund Transport for London

Tube union, RMT will take strike action on London Underground on October 4 and 6 over job losses and safety concerns.

The union has been locked in a long running dispute over 600 station staff cuts and detrimental working conditions since last year.

Safety concerns have also been raised regarding fewer staff facing higher workloads, more lone working and increased fatigue.

The job losses planned will affect every aspect of the tube including stations and maintenance, leading to the likelihood of more unstaffed stations and a lowering of safety standards.

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.

Dear Colleague,

Following on from the National Executives Committee decision made on 21st July 2023 to suspend industrial action across LUL, which was due to start on 23rd July 2023, I am giving you further clarification on the progress we have made in respect of TfL pensions.

REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/10)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/059/23, 3rd March 2023), the ballot mandate is due to expire and the National Executive Committee has taken the decision to re-ballot all Train Operator and Instructor Operator members on the Bakerloo Line, District Line, Central Line, Hammersmith & City Line and Jubilee Line, for strike action and action short of a strike in the form of Drivers to physically check their train before detraining.

DEFENDING JOBS, PENSIONS & AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/208/23, 7th July 2023), further progress has been made following talks with LUL yesterday over the station staffing review. The Lead Officer has reported that 27 positions will be restored, 27 CSA2 positions will be updated to CSA1 and 10 part time station roles will be made full time. This will have the effect of restoring the proportion of weekend rest days to the level before the 600 job cuts process was imposed.
