DEFEND THE LONDON BRIDGE 3 - VOTE YES
All,
Most L1 reps will have had my previous email on this subject but I have updated my list so a few of you will be getting this for the first time.
The issue of achieving better roster balance in terms of extreme shifts and weekend rest days was put at the centre of talks about additional jobs.
We now have a published proposal for 325 new jobs. This is testament to the work done by reps and members in delivering our stations strike in January. We must now ensure that the new jobs we’ve won are used to meet the demands of our members.
RMT station staff at London Bridge are to take strike action from 2200 May 7 until 2159 May 8 in defence of the London Bridge 3.
An action short of strike not to service POMs and not to challenge customers without valid tickets/oysters/bank cards will commence at 2200 on May 8.
The RMT National Executive have now escalated the dispute across all Revenue and Station grades on LUL.
Picket lines will be drawn from 2159 on Sunday May7.
Neasden Branch will be holding an 'Organising Day' on Wednesday 17th May (the same date as the next Branch Meeting). The day will commence at Bond Street at 11:00am.
Reps are asked to make every effort to attend the Organising day which will cover Bond Street upwards to Wembley Park, stopping at stations in between. The branch will provide lunch for all attendees.
Latest edition of SFC news attached.

Management continue to refuse to recognise our reps in many areas. This is a clear and obvious breach of the agreement made in March 2000 on our machinery of negotiation.
RMT will continue to elect our full entitlement of reps on stations.
Members have the right to ask for whoever they want to accompany them to LDIs, Case Conferences etc. Therefore managers cannot refused to release any rep who a member has specifically asked for.
