RMT to Produce 'Know Your Rights' Guide on LU Attendance Procedure

RMT General Grades Committee decision:

We note the report from our Regional Organiser. We welcome and accept his view that our concerns regarding return to work interviews and the same manager carrying out fact-finding and disciplinary interviews are now resolved.

We further note that it is very important that our members are fully aware of their rights under London Underground’s Attendance at Work policy, as this increases members’ ability to assert their rights and restricts management’s ability to deny members their rights. We instruct the General Secretary, in conjunction with our Regional Organiser and GGC member, to arrange for the production of a pocket-sized, plain-English 'know your rights' booklet for LU staff outlining their rights on this issue, in the same format as the LU station staff ‘know your rights’ booklet produced last year.

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