What is a National Executive Committee decision?

This article is an 'executive decision' which has been written by the RMT National Executive Committee. The National Executive is the union's governing body in between AGMs. Its decisions set out what the union will do on a particular issue.

These decisions can often be brief, and may be one of several passed over a period of time. To get a better understanding or find out more information about what the RMT is doing, speak to your rep or attend your branch or Regional Council meeting.

Concern That LUL Use Upgrades To Bypass Negotiation

We note the report from our Regional Organiser, attaching a report from our LU Trains Upgrades representatives.

We and our LU trains representatives are concerned that London Underground Ltd may be using the Upgrades set-up to bypass the established Machinery of Negotiation and Consultation. It is not acceptable to us for the employer to discuss all matters concerning the upgrades of three lines with one Upgrades rep to the exclusion of local representatives.

We believe that the Upgrades representative should be added to the Trains Health & Safety Council. We instruct the General Secretary to ensure that this is proposed during the current review of LUL’s Machineries and that an early response is received.

We further instruct the General Secretary to ensure that all information obtained through the Upgrades process is shared with our other representatives.

We note that a meeting with our trains and service control representatives has been convened for 25 January to discuss Cross-Line Working, and instruct the General Secretary to add this matter to the agenda. A report of this discussion is to be placed in front of us.

London Transport Regional Council, branches and representatives to be advised.
