TUBE UNION RMT confirmed today that key service control centre staff have voted overwhelmingly for strike action and action short of a strike in a dispute over jobs and conditions of service.
Proposals by London Underground regarding the move of Piccadilly Line Service Control to Hammersmith Service Control Centre have raised a range of union concerns that the management refuse to address:
- The Wholesale job losses arising from the move to Hammersmith Service Control Centre
- The Non-payment of the Service Operator 3 rate of pay
