The following letter was put on the noticeboards at Elephant & Castle by, Brian Munro, newly appointed and co-opted health and safety rep:

To: All drivers, Elephant & Castle Dear Brother / Sister HEALTH & SAFETY REP - ELEPHANT & CASTLE

Following the suspension of Eamonn Lynch from London Underground premises the Bakerloo Branch agreed that I would stand in as the health & safety rep on an interim basis. RMT head office duly informed LUL on September 2nd. Unfortunately management refused to recognize the RMT’s appointment. As a result a tribunal claim was lodged and a formal compliant was made to the ORR (the office of the Rail Regulator). It was only after the intervention and threat of prosecution by the Rail Regulator that LUL finally agreed to comply with the Health & Safety at Work Act. If you have any safety issues you would like raised please let me know and I will take them up with management. Will all drivers please be aware that Eamonn’s CDI is scheduled to take place on October 12th; we hope that he will be able to take up his rightful role as health and safety rep on the 13th.

Yours in solidarity,

Brian Munro
