Back To Work

Towards the end of last year the RMT won stunning victories for our members on the Bakerloo line.

Anyone who followed these stories will have been well aware that all three cases were terrible injustices.

London Underground’s truculent management regime is now threatening train operators with disciplinary action for taking “too many” PNRs.

Local managers across LUL have been instructed to create an EIRF each time a train operator takes a personal needs relief and these are then recording on personal files. On the H&C line a T/Op has been threatened with disciplinary action.
