Following some very unsavory legal advice it now appears that jobs will be under threat when Metronet staff return to London Underground on 8th December. It appears that although all the staff are being tranferred to LUL, the contracts will remain with Metronet. This makes it possible for example that Metronet withdraw the contract from LUL and give it, let's say, to Balfour Beatty leaving the current Metronet employees jobless. The advice is provided in full underneath.

Below is a question-and-answer briefing produced by LUL management to explain pay rates for working on New Year's Eve.
LUL produced this Q&A a year ago, and the only thing that has changed since then is that there are no longer payments for Operational Duty Managers.

These Q& A’s must be used in conjunction with the current Pay Arrangements for New Years Eve Payments.

Dear Colleagues,
CONSULTATION AND BRIEFING FORUM FOR 2012 OLYMPICS
LUL have advised me of their belief that that there would be a benefit in having a forum, separate from the Company Council, whereat the Unions could be regularly briefed about the 2012 developments and, where appropriate, consulted over relevant issues.
