Submitted by Admin on 22 December, 2015 - 15:05

We note the report on file from the Lead Officer and we instruct the General Secretary to instruct our Station Grades members to carry out an overtime ban from 05:30 hours on Sunday 3rd January 2016 until further notice. And to refuse (from the date of this decision) to sign any contract or letter regarding working hours or agreements ( with the exception of  members on Fixed Term Contracts who should sign permanent contract) We resolve to take the struggle for every job matters into the new year  until our just demands on pay and conditions are met.

Defend Glen Hart

 

Stop the victimisation of RMT rep/activist Glen Hart by London Underground

The RMT are demonstrating against the unfair victimisation of Glen Hart who has been targeted solely because he is a RMT activist and he loses a station during last years OT ban because he had no relief.

LUL have since tried to discipline Glen with unfounded and untrue allegations.

LUL found no charge at the first CDI - immediately they produced another set of equally flimsy charges.

This time Glen is accused of being " horrible" to a manager

RMT Regional Organiser demands tube job cuts plan be ditched following Leytonstone violent attack

Submitted by Admin on 7 December, 2015 - 19:48

RMT's London Transport Regional Organiser John Leach has written to London Underground to reiterate the unions demand that plans to cut hundreds of front line jobs be ditched following the recent violent attack at Leytonstone station.

Leytonstone station which was the scene of Saturdays horrific knife attack, will lose half its rush hour staff from February under proposed new rosters. The Leytonstone cuts are part of an overall package from early next year which would strip 838 front-line, uniformed station staff out of the tube system.
