UNITED - All 4 TRADE UNIONS TO BALLOT FOR STRIKE ACTION

The RMT has declared a dispute with LUL over wages and all-night running and is balloting for strike action.
An outrageous attempt to drive a coach and horses through existing procedures has been attempted by LUL managers who wish to impose new rosters on staff in the run up to the introduction of night tube operation on 12th September 2015. The rosters would pin staff into a regime of anti-social hours and appalling working conditions.
The union is also placing the derisory pay offer from London Underground into dispute – a pay offer that the company has chained together with the all-night running issue.
Following high-level talks between the RMT and the other Tube unions we are now co-coordinating our campaign with our sister unions who have been hit by the same ripping-up of existing agreements, and the same derisory pay offer. LUL’s behaviour in these matters has sent shockwaves through depots and workplaces right across the London Underground network.
The RMT is the largest union on the Tube with over 12,000 members, representing staff in all 7 Functional Councils, including a large number of driver members. We are in a strong position to force management to see sense on these issues and welcome working alongside our sister unions in this fight.

ALL GRADES ARE UNDER ATTACK
STATIONS,TRAINS,SERVICE CONTROL,TRACK &SIGNALS,DEPOTS
WE MUST DEFEND THE RIGHT TO NEGOTIATE
WE ALL NEED TO STAND TOGETHER.
