Please be advised that RMT has called a mass meeting of LUL Representatives to report and receive feedback on developments concerning the 2019 claim for improvements to rates of pay and conditions of service and management’s proposed four–year deal. Myself and your National Executive Committee Representative, Jared Wood, will be in attendance.
Dear all,
We are planning a strategy to improve attendance and engagement with the Stations and Revenue Grades committee, as this can potentially be a powerful organising tool for stations and revenue staff. With the revenue inspectors under attack, major concerns over a two tier workforce in stations and revenue, increased attacks on staff and a dramatic rise in incidences of unstaffed stations, our grades are under attack on many fronts.
The TfL Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Trade Union Engagement Forum met on 29 January. RMT was represented by Janine Booth, Paul Greany, Jamie Parry and Daniel Randall (a last-minute stand-in for Glen Hart).
RMT tabled five issues for discussion. The other unions did not table any items, but ASLEF, TSSA and Unite did attend, and supported RMT’s demands.
1. Recognition of new name/gender
Twenty-five members attended the meeting, including several new members elected recently. All were welcomed and introduced themselves.
Dear colleagues,
REMINDER: Demonstration in support of London Underground and Overground cleaners - 29 January, 1-2pm, opposite Old Palace Yard, Houses of Parliament SW1A 2BE
Train Grades is a monthly meeting for RMT London Underground driver activists. At the meeting Trains Functional Council (grade wide industrial), Tier 2 (grade wide health and safety) and local representatives give updates on current issues and answer questions. Local reps and activists also give reports, ask questions, get updates and become further involved in organising campaigns and activities.
RMT London Transport Regional Council has voted at previous regional councils to support youth climate strikes. We’re therefore proud to cosponsor and promote this bloc on the 14 February climate strike, called by the PCS union branch at the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
Attached is a copy of the Neasden Branch meeting dates for 2020. The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday 15th January. Please make every effort to attend.
