REMOVAL OF CAR PARKING FACILITIES, ACTON TOWN DISTRICT DEPOT - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

The Union declared a failure to agree with London Underground over the Company's decision to remove car parking facilities at Acton Town District Depot which have been in place for over 25 years. It is clear no rational thinking has been used in taking this decision and members should not be forced into longer working days with no secure, reliable car parking facilities.

Dear Colleague,

REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND

All Train Operator and Instructor Operator members on the Bakerloo Line, District Line, Central Line, Hammersmith & City Line and Jubilee Line have been taking action to physically check their train before detraining since March 2023. Now due to the anti-trade union laws, this ballot mandate will expire and it is necessary to ballot members again for this action to continue.

ALL STRIKE ACTION IS SUSPENDED

Further to my previous Circular (IR/218/23, 14th July 2023) talks have taken place at ACAS this week between the Company and the Assistant General Secretary, Relief Regional Organiser and Negotiating Team, resulting in significant progress in this dispute.

LUL has presented a set of proposals covering the following issues:

Attendance at Work Policy

REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/10)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/059/23, 3rd March 2023), the ballot mandate is due to expire and the National Executive Committee has taken the decision to re-ballot all Train Operator and Instructor Operator members on the Bakerloo Line, District Line, Central Line, Hammersmith & City Line and Jubilee Line, for strike action and action short of a strike in the form of Drivers to physically check their train before detraining.

Further to my previous Circular (IR/208/23, 7th July 2023), further progress has been made following talks with LUL yesterday over the station staffing review. The Lead Officer has reported that 27 positions will be restored, 27 CSA2 positions will be updated to CSA1 and 10 part time station roles will be made full time. This will have the effect of restoring the proportion of weekend rest days to the level before the 600 job cuts process was imposed.

BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, EUSTON AREA (VICTORIA CENTRAL GROUP) - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Since the suspension of industrial action last year (IR/115/22, 1st June 2022), industrial relations at Euston Area have deteriorated again due to an increase in management bullying and consistent mistreatment of members with disabilities or on long-term sickness.
