Fit for the Future Update from CCSG 17.12.15

At Company Council Sub Group today LU presented us with a further update to their Framework proposals. The proposals as they now stand remain unacceptable to us but some significant progress has been made this week on certain issues.

Changes to Duties at short notice

New SFC News: Don't Sign New Contracts and LU make New Demands for Martini Framework

Fixed term contract? Why you shoud strike

LU has been looking for a formula to weaken the trades unions for years. They hoped the development of the SRT would have a negative effect on stations , but the buggers kept joining the RMT.
When the unions rightly forced management to address the gender imbalance among drivers, LU thought that by advertising in Cosmopolitan, etc, they'd get a nice passive workforce in heels & Laura Ashley skirts.
Nope - the buggers joined trade unions.

RMT Demands Real Negotiations on FftF Issues

LU's new COO has issued a bulletin claiming a bizzare reluctance to talk on the part of the TU's.
Bizarrely, this claim is made by a COO who has yet to utter a word to any officer or rep from any of the TUs.

Following two meetings at ACAS on Pay & Night-tube the outging COO did no more than restate their opening at Company Council two months ago - LU wants a fair, affordable and sustainable pay settlement.

SFC News: Vote Yes for Strike Action

RMT is balloting LU station members for strike action in response to LU's revised proposals for job cuts and detrimental changes to working conditions.
Our stations will be dangerously understaffed while our members rostering arrangements will be casualised leaving us with no work/life balance.
Download and distribute the attached SFC News. It contains info about LU's latest plans for stations and calls for a Yes Vote for strike action and action short of strikes.
