RMT calls strike action. Do not book on for any duty between 21:00 hours from Friday 17th of December until 20:59 Saturday 18th of December
This strike is not just about Eamonn Lynch. This is about you!

RMT members have voted overwhelmingly for strike action in support of victimised driver Eamonn Lynch. On a 50% turnout 95% voted for strike action and for action short of strike action. The union has decided on one days’ action starting at 21:00hrs Friday 17th December. This strike will be in conjunction with drivers at Morden depot on the Northern line who are fighting to defend their RMT colleague, Arwyn Thomas who is also being victimised by LUL boses.
Last week LUL management upheld their decision to sack Eamonn Lynch even after an Interim Relief Tribunal decided that the sacking of Eamonn was a clear case of victimisation on the grounds of Eamonn’s trade union activity. We are clearly up against a management that is out of control and has no regard for the law of the land. If you disciminate against and sack a driver for his union activity, how long before our bosses are sacking us for our gender, sexuality or race? And then stick two fingers up at a British court?
LUL management have screwed up London Underground’s finances and want us to pay the price. By victimising reps like Eamonn and Arwyn management not only save money if they can sack them, but by undermining our union organisation they can then attack all the staff and push through unsafe practices unchallenged.
That’s why this strike is about more than just Eamonn and Arwyn, it’s about job security for us all. Support for Eamonn from Aslef has been great and Aslef members have pledged their support during the up coming strike. This strike is to defend all our jobs and union organisation. If they get away with sacking Eamonn, despite the legal judgement, then they will sack anyone on the line. You might be next! All out on Saturday!
