This article is an 'executive decision' which has been written by the RMT National Executive Committee. The National Executive is the union's governing body in between AGMs. Its decisions set out what the union will do on a particular issue.

Strike dates named as Bakerloo South group votes for industrial action

Subject: DUTIES/SHIFT COVERAGE, BAKERLOO LINE SOUTH GROUP – LONDON UNDERGROUND

We congratulate our Bakerloo Line Branch and representatives for running a successful campaign to highlight the need to ballot for industrial actions in light of the
companies disregard for their own policies and procedures and creating undue stress on our members; putting them and the travelling public at risk.

That we note that the ballot results are as follows:

The result for strike action is:-

  • Number of members balloted: 142
  • Total votes cast 94 (66.2%)
  • Number voting “Yes” 83 (58.5%)
  • Number voting “No” 11​
  • Spoilt Papers 0

The 50% threshold and the 40% threshold were both met.

The result for action short of strike is as follows:-

  • Number of members balloted: 142
  • Total votes cast 93 (66.2%)
  • Number voting “Yes” 88 (62%)
  • Number voting “No” 5​
  • Spoilt Papers 1

The 50% threshold and the 40% threshold were both met.
We note that all the thresholds for both for strike action and action short of a strike were met.

Accordingly; we instruct all members to take Strike Action by not to booking on for shifts starting between:

  • 05:00 and 23:01 on Wednesday 26 th December 2018.
