To all LUL Stations Industrial and H&S Representatives

FIT FOR THE FUTURE STATIONS UPDATE

Please be advised that management have agreed your release for attendance at a meeting of all Stations Reps for a FFtF Stations Update. .

The meeting will take place in the Boardroom, Unity House on Wednesday 12^th July 2017 at 11:00 hours.

The report will be given by myself and your Stations Functional Council Representatives.

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.

At SFC today LU gave us their proposal to utilise the 325 additional jobs agreed as a result of our strike action earlier this year.

An SFC News with some initial thoughts on the proposal will be sent out soon.

We will be spending 4 weeks looking at the plans at SFC level and then rosters will be produced and looked at L1.

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.

Talks are continuing as part of seven day review of staffing level. We've outlined need for more staff to meet key objectives: Staff in control rooms, safety and security in larger stations, reduce lone working and unstaffed local stations, improve roster balance.
LU have again stated that additional jobs can be created to meet these objectives. They will respond more fully on Friday.

The Fit for the Future impact ballot closes tomorrow.

Ballot papers must be in the post tonight.

Industrial action, which could include an overtime ban, will show that our stations cannot operate with the current staffing levels.
