LUL Disciplinary Hearings

From RMT official circular IR/86/09, dated 17th March 2009

It has come to my attention that LUL management have changed the way they conduct disciplinary hearings (CDIs). They have started to routinely involve a PMA, or People Management Advisor to the CDI. In our view the PMA is not independent but is part of the Management team. This effectively adds a third person to the disciplinary panel and is therefore outside the LUL disciplinary procedure as well as a change to existing practices.

We will continue to process this matter with LUL. Meanwhile RMT representatives are therefore advised to object to this practice at the beginning of the CDI and have such objections minuted.

Yours Sincerely

Bob Crow General Secretary
