What is a National Executive Committee decision?

This article is an 'executive decision' which has been written by the RMT National Executive Committee. The National Executive is the union's governing body in between AGMs. Its decisions set out what the union will do on a particular issue.

These decisions can often be brief, and may be one of several passed over a period of time. To get a better understanding or find out more information about what the RMT is doing, speak to your rep or attend your branch or Regional Council meeting.

RMT Demands More Representatives At Meeting To Discuss London Underground Machinery Of Negotiation

From General Secretary Bob Crow

I write to advise branches that correspondence has been received from LUL, with regards to the arrangements for the first meeting to discuss our bargaining arrangements. This matter has again been considered by the General Grades Committee which has made the following decision:

“We note the correspondence from London Underground. We do not accept that RMT, as by far the largest union on LUL, and with recognition and membership in all functions, should be restricted to just three representatives (including the full-time officer) at the meeting to discuss the review.

We instruct the General Secretary to raise this matter with London Underground Ltd as a matter of urgency, and insist on adequate representation for this union.

London Transport Regional Council and branches with London Underground members to be advised.”

I will update branches on further developments.
