Reports from the London Transport Region's Stations and Revenue Functional Representatives
We're hearing of more and more cases of rest days being changed in breach of the framework agreement and HGW being denied where it is due.
Please read and download the guide to working under FftF on this webpage.
A poster to download and display on union notice boards will be available soon showing the web address for the rmtlondoncaling.org.uk/stations area.
Management have renaged on an agreement to negotiate a Transfer & Promotion policy (T&P).
They will now impose further displacements of members who are covering down or are over establishment.
RMT has insisted that members have some say, through a nomination process, about where they get sent to for their substantive roles.
Managemnet say that each move will be ordered according to what saves LU the most money.
Management intend to push ahead with an imposed policy even though there is no agreed appeals process for members who get displaced.
Management Impose Transfer & Promotion Policy
Displacements to Higher Grade Cover Down and Substantive Positions will be based on what saves LU the most money - Preferences will be ineffectual unless you volunteer to move more than 30 mins.
No agreed appeals process against Unfair Moves
Promotional Process remains Unacceptable
Transfer & Promotion (T&P)
Following months of talks in which RMT has out the issue of avoiding multiole displacements following FftF, LU has finally issued a revised proposla that guarantees no-one will be displaced sideways. What this means is that anyone covering down one grade can only be displaced into their permanent substantive position. This removes the threat, contained in all of LU's T&P proposals until now, that members could be dislaced up to five times as LU shuffled us about to get rid of cover downs and over establishment positions.
This webpage is intended as an easy to access sourcce of up to the minute info for RMT members working on stations.
Functional reps will be able to post updates from talks and urgent news items and there is a new guide to working on stations.
It is important that RMT members understand what is and IS NOT requred of them when off sick.

Preferencing and filling gaps should be seen as two separate processes.
Filling Gaps: This is just LU running the Fit for the Future location computer to see if any staff who are OE or covering down can be moved into a substantive position.
They may also move a CSM1 who is covering down at CSS into a temporary CSM2 location.
At this time LU has accepted our demand that they do not make sideways moves (same grade) under filling the gaps.
