Representation of LU Fleet Grades

From Bob Crow, General Secretary:

Our LU Fleet branch submitted a resolution regarding the unfair treatment of our CMO Fleet members as a result of new imposed London Underground machinery, which has in effect resulted in them not getting the representation they deserve.

This matter has now been considered by the General Grades Committee and the following decision has been taken:-

“That we note the resolution from LU Fleet branch and fully endorse the sentiments LUL have refused to meaningfully negotiate on this matter and claim to have imposed a machinery of negotiation, which we believed to be unworkable, particularly for our former Metronet members.

The General Secretary is instructed to continue to press LUL on this matter and to report to the General Grades Committee on the legal issues, particularly in relation to TUPE and Health and safety issues

Our LU Fleet and LU Engineering Branches to be notified of the position.”

I will keep Branches and Regional Councils updated of any further developments.
