DEFENDING JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)
Further to my previous Circular IR/82/22, 29th March 2022, a meeting of Reps from all LUL functions took place where members' anger at LUL's attempts to impose massive cuts by undermining pensions, jobs and conditions was clearly expressed. The meeting committed to take further all grades strike action and the National Executive Committee has taken the decision to conduct a re-ballot of all LUL members on the same basis as before to ensure our mandate for action remains live.

DON'T LET THEM TAKE YOUR JOBS, PENSIONS & AGREEMENTS
PAPERS OUT TODAY - VOTE 'YES' TO BOTH QUESTIONS & RETURN YOUR BALLOT PAPER
DEFEND JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND
You will have seen a bulletin from Andy Lord today asking you not to vote in this re-ballot.
It is absolutely vital that we get a big turnout and a big Yes vote on both questions to send a clear message to LUL that this dispute is not resolved as LUL has repeatedly failed to provide us with the three following simple demands:-

IMPOSITION OF NIGHT TUBE DUTIES, TRAIN OPERATORS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/2/3)
Further to my previous Circular IR/103/22, 6th March 2022, a re-ballot is being conducted over London Underground's unacceptable imposition of night tube duties into the TO21 roster, as this issue remains unresolved. RMT remains committed to defending the work/life balance of Train Operator members and preventing dangerous levels of fatigue, as per the 2016 agreement.
Tube staff will take strike action at Euston and Green Park stations on June 3, if action is not taken against a bullying manager.
RMT members at both stations have suffered years of intimidation, bullying and unjustified sackings of colleagues by a manager who has created a toxic atmosphere in the workplace.
Strike action is set for June 3 which coincides with the Queen's Jubilee and will last 24 hours.

Dear Colleagues,
BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, GREEN PARK & EUSTON AREAS LONDON UNDERGROUND
Following the recent ballot result regarding the above, members are congratulated for returning a solid vote in favour of action over the deterioration of industrial relations at Green Park Area and Euston Area. This dispute is due to the consistent unacceptable bullying and intimidating behaviour from management and despite further efforts from your RMT Reps to make progress on these issues, they are facing total intransigence from LUL.
