RMT Pursues Reinstatement Of Uniform Cleaning Vouchers

That we note the correspondence from our Stratford no.1 branch, and the branch’s view that this union should maintain its stance that London Underground should provide uniform cleaning vouchers.

We note that LU management is refusing to discuss restoring the vouchers at the Uniform Consultative Committee, declaring that it considers the matter closed. We disagree.

We agree to pursue this issue by insisting that no member of staff is out of pocket through the replacement of the vouchers with a tax allowance. We therefore instruct the General Secretary to obtain a detailed report on the financial impact of this measure. This report is to be placed in front of us once received, following which we may place this item on the agenda of London Underground’s Company Council if necessary.

"We note that LU management is refusing to discuss restoring the vouchers at the Uniform Consultative Committee, declaring that it considers the matter closed. We disagree."

Further, we instruct the General Secretary to obtain a report from the Regional Organiser on release arrangements for our Uniform Consultative Committee representatives, and to place this in front of us.

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