Solidarity wins the day - strike rock solid!
No trains run across entire network. Track & signals,Fleet, stations & service control absolutely solid.

20,000 workers from across 4 unions across all grades across the whole combine took action against the imposition of unfair, unwanted rosters.
Rosters from hell.
This strike is not about money. It never has been.
The employer has sought to impose rosters that would absolutely destroy work life balance for ALL of their staff.
We are not against night tube.
What we are against is the ripping up of long standing frameworks and agreements that protect the staff from excessive hours, unfair and damaging rosters, being used as a martini work force, made to work at any location with no mutual agreement and at short notice.

The absolute rock solid strike on July 8/9 has sent a clear message to London Underground.
We are prepared to negotiate with you, we always have been.
However, we are also prepared to take more strike action to defend our terms and conditions.
We will never accept anything that you impose.
Negotiate. Don't dictate.

ALL GRADES - INDEFINITE OT BAN FROM 2130 JULY 9

As part of our continuing dispute we have instructed our members not to work over time until further notice.
This is part of our action short of strike.
We voted overwhelmingly for action short of, over 9-1 in favour.
The fact LUL have deliberately run down staff numbers and not covered vacancies have meant stations in particular are being run almost exclusively on over time.
Engineering and Fleet having a OT ban will impact massively on their functions.
T/Ops do not do over time.
Support the overtime ban
Solidarity wins.
