RMT to ballot service control members at Hammersmith Control Centre

IMPOSITION OF ROSTER, SCL2s, HAMMERSMITH SERVICE CONTROL CENTRE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/8/2)

The Lead Officer recently submitted a report as, despite the best efforts of our RMT Reps to reach a negotiated settlement, management have proceeded to impose a new roster, which is due to be implemented in March 2021, affecting members on the Metropolitan, Circle, Hammersmith & City Lines at Hammersmith Service Control Centre.

This new roster is entirely unacceptable as it cuts two SCL2 jobs, affects annual leave and will increase the workload for those remaining. The Reps raised our objections with management but these were disregarded and management have pressed ahead to impose it anyway.

This National Executive Committee considered this matter and took the decision to declare a dispute with LUL and ballot all Service Controller members at Hammersmith Service Control Centre on the Metropolitan, Circle, Hammersmith & City Lines for industrial action. The ballot papers will be posted out to members on Tuesday 26th January and the closing date is Tuesday 16th February 2021. I will of course keep Branches advised of all further developments.
