ACAS UPDATE
Your union RMT entered into dispute yesterday over management's failure to adhere to agreements made in the last pay deal.

These are as follows:
- Failure to allow a referendum on the 4 Day trail on the Jubilee line when it finishes in September.
- Failure to introduce a range of pro rota working arrangements to enhance T/ops work life balance.
- Failure to give your Union assurances in regard to no increases in Weekend working for existing T/ops.

Talks are ongoing at ACAS and your Union will update you on any developments,

POST-AGREEMENT JOINT INITIATIVES FOR TRAIN OPERATORS – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/0004)

Since the 2015 pay settlement, joint discussions regarding the post-agreement joint initiatives for Train Operators have been taking place. The Lead Officer has now reported concerns that despite these talks, aspects of the settlement remain unresolved, most notably a failure to adhere to commitments to better work life balance arrangements for LUL Trainstaff.

DISMISSAL, D. DAVIS, TRAIN OPERATOR, LOUGHTON – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/4/1)

The National Executive Committee has recently considered the case of Brother Danny Davis and taken the decision to conduct a ballot for strike action amongst all RMT Train Operators, Night Tube Train Operators and Instructor Operator members on the Central Line – Hainault, Leytonstone, Loughton, West Ruislip and White City Traincrew Depots.

We note and adopt the report from our National Sub Committee.

REPORT: USE OF CCTV IN DISCIPLINARIES

Referring to Decision No, NWW, 26th July 2017, your National Sub-committee submits the following report:     

“We note the resolution from the 2017 AGM on the use of CCTV in disciplinaries, and instruct the General Secretary to conduct a review of our current advice as it is now several years old.

We note the report from our Lead Officer regarding the company’s failure to adhere to commitments made toward a better work life balance for LU Train Staff; and the detrimental course taken in these talks and current proposals which if are introduced will lead to fatigue and potentially to mistakes such as spads.

This is unacceptable and we instruct the General Secretary to write to London Underground immediately to inform them we are in dispute, and prepare a ballot matrix.

Members to be advised by email and text.
