Night Tube Drivers to get fair choice on New Years Eve working and equal bonus payment

Submitted by Admin on 14 October, 2016 - 20:22

This has been a prolonged process – taking many months to achieve – but at last we have a position which is both fair and consistent with current procedures.

NEW YEARS’ EVE WORKING 2016 - An update

Dear Colleagues It has been brought to my attention that Aslef has been making wildly inaccurate claims about this Union’s position on NYE payments for drivers. It saddens me to have to refute statements from another union, because I believe we should always strive to work together, but I cannot allow falsehoods to go unchallenged.
