RMT General Grades Committee decision:
We note the resolution from our LU Engineering branch, and welcome the many new members who work on maintaining the lifts on Tube Lines.
These members have been under attack from a fierce and anti-RMT management and company called Accord, and have responded by joining RMT and organising through the branch into a fighting unit to hit back at these attacks, and holding a mass meeting last week.
Accord's response to this meeting has been to state that it now intends to recognise Unite from 4 April.
We instruct the General Secretary to:
- immediately lodge a recognition request with Accord, obtaining the necessary information from the branch secretary
- notify Accord of our intention to represent our members and that this will include all avenues, including industrial action if necessary
- inform Unite the Union is informed of the industrial situation with Accord
This matter to be put back in front of us in the event of any developments. LU Engineering branch and London Transport Regional Council and relevant branches to be advised.
