Assessment of Train Operators by Instructor Operators

RMT General Grades Committee decision:

We note that our LU train representatives report that they won the argument with London Underground in relation to this issue, arguing that peer-to-peer assessment would not only breed mistrust and animosity within the mess room and depot environment and amongst drivers, but could lead to conflict and confrontation between a driver and his or her peer who had assessed them. LU has now withdrawn this idea, and for the foreseeable future Operational Learning Trainers will be carrying out the role that the Duty Manager Trains used to do in relation to the Competence Management System monitoring and assessment.

We congratulate our representatives and close this file. London Transport Regional Council and relevant branches to be advised.
