NIGHT TUBE ISSUES, PICCADILLY LINE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

There had been two issues affecting our members on the Night Tube - “Night Tube Staff Lone Working” and “Meal Relief Point, Arnos Grove Depot”.

BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, TRAIN OPERATORS, VICTORIA LINE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

I advised you previously that the NEC had instructed me to obtain a report from the Regional Organiser with regards to the local meetings that were taking place that would hopefully resolve this dispute over the need to improve working relationships between RMT members and Victoria Line management (Ref: IR/399/19, 2nd October 2019).

Subject: BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, TRAIN OPERATORS, VICTORIA LINE – LONDON UNDERGROUND

That we note the report from the Lead Officer; regarding the degrading by the company of the agreement reached at ACAS despite the union suspending Strike Action. London Underground's inability to manage its own lower echelon management and keep its house in order is its own sad affair until it impinges on the health, safety & welfare of its staff our members, and agreements once mutually reached with this union.

That we note the resolution from our Finsbury Park Branch regarding the unacceptable levels of track noise on the line; that puts the travelling public and our driver members under considerable discomfort and may be a dangerous distraction and/or may obscure safety critical messages from the Controller.
