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, Jubilee Line and Victoria Line have been taking action to physically check their train before detraining. 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.

I have produced a leaflet here and would ask you to circulate the leaflet as widely as possible.

BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, COCKFOSTERS & ARNOS GROVE DEPOTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

A resolution was recently received from our Finsbury Park Branch and a report was received from the Lead Officer regarding a range of issues affecting Train Operator members at Cockfosters and Arnos Grove Traincrew Depots. The issues raised include the following:

· Breaches of the Attendance at Work Policy and particularly the application of section 5.2 on a number of levels, causing members stress and anxiety and concerns over their job security.

DISMISSAL,  - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/4/1)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/123/24, 19th April 2024), all RMT members at Oxford Circus Area are congratulated for standing firm together against injustice during the strike action from 3rd to 4th May. Gerald's appeal hearing has now taken place but regrettably, LUL upheld the decision to dismiss him rather than taking action to rightly resolve this dispute.

The Union has now received correspondence from LUL in response to a dispute resolution meeting with LUL Directors, that took place on 28th March. The letter covers several important issues:

Dear Colleagues,

DEFENDING JOBS, PENSIONS & AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/072/24, 1st March 2024), the anti-trade union laws mean each ballot mandate only lasts for 6 months so another ballot is now due to keep our action live. Ballot papers were posted on Thursday 28th March so should be arriving in the post this week. The ballot closes on Thursday 25th April.

Our demands in this dispute remain consistent and LUL could resolve it by giving us three simple assurances:

Tube union, RMT secured a pay rise on LU following threats of mass strike action.

Representing around 10,000 members on the network, the lowest paid will see their wages rise by between 8-10%.

Other workers will see a 5% rise with consolidated payments of £1000.

Those members on less than £40,000 will get an additional consolidated payment.

RMT also secured progress towards enhanced travel facilities on national rail services.
