WITHDRAWAL OF REST DAYS, TRACK & CIVILS STAFF – TUBE LINES AP JNP (LUL/8/6)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/098/15, 10^th April 2015), further discussions took place at Company Council. The Lead Officer recently submitted a report advising that since October, management has employed new entrants without the 4 rest days and anyone who transfers to a new position through promotion or different type of jobs are also not getting the 4 rest days.

The General Grades Committee has considered this matter and having noted the reports on file, has taken the decision to conduct a ballot of the grades involved for strike action and action short of a strike. The ballot papers will be posted out to affected members on Thursday 10^th December 2015 and the closing date for this ballot is Thursday 7^th January 2016. I will keep you informed of all developments.
