Mr Ramsay said this meeting followed on from the positive position reached at the last meeting which meant that only a few items needed to be addressed to get an agreement. He confirmed that he had received ASLEF's proposal and asked for the proposal to be run through. In response to Staff Side's request for the meeting to be minuted. Mr Ramsay confimwed that was in line with his expectation and as such minutes were being taken.

ASLEF stated that the proposal allowed for management to run the required Olympic service, whilst protecting the needs of train operators. The Staff side chair read from the statement attached as appendix 1.

RMT said that some parts of the proposal were not the RMTs' position and they were in no position to negotiate for a 9 hour Saturday and Sunday, changes to the Bakerloo line tunnel trip restrictions or anything outside of the current framework or PTOA. RMT said it was not in their capacity to agree this and they had been instructed not to. If management wished they could write to RMT's Head Office as they believed that the RMTs policy was to support those options that required the recruitment of more drivers.

Mr Ramsay noted the RMT’s position and stated that as talks had started in February it as disappointing that this relatively sudden change in position had occurred at such a late juncture.

RMT said that they had made it clear at the start there were certain parameters they could not go outside, and that this had been emailed to management several weeks ago.

Management acknowledged this but reiterated that talks had started in February.

ASLEF stated that previous joint Staff Side proposals with changes to the Trains Framework Agreement had taken place at this level and that only the Trains Functional Council and no-one else could discuss changes to the Framework Agreement for train operators, it was not a matter for Head Offices. The RMT responded to ASLEF by saying that this Council should also act to ensure the Framework Agreement was adhered to.

Management said the following points would need to be considered further:
v Whether the tunnel trip restrictions on the Bakerloo line would be suspended and
whether this would gain payment ~ Whether volunteers for late duties would be used in the first instance
Adiournment 14:00-15:30

Mr Ramsay thanked Staff Side for the adjournment and noted that Mr Crowley was now in attendance and that Mr Watson had left leaving Mr O’Dowd the sole RMT representative remaining.

Mr Ramsay said management were now in a position to make an offer and confirm it in writing. Mr Ramsay read the proposal and concluded by stating this was a good deal for train operators and London Underground and one that would ensure there was a feeling of good spirit during the Games. He then asked for Staff Side to consider seriously the proposal on behalf of their members and come back to management with a response.

Adiournment 15:55-16:10

Mr Ramsay invited the Staff Side Chair to respond. Mr Feldwick said after a debate and a Staff Side vote, that Mr O'Dowd representing the RMT had been outvoted by those present for ASLEF. Mr Feldwick added that he acknowledged the position that Mr O'Dowd had been required to take but that Staff Side would accept the offer in principle subject to a final proof read and check. Mr Ramsay thanked Trains Functional Council and confirmed that the offer would be sent out to Staff Side.
RMT said there were issua they couldn't accept and asked that the Offer be Sent to RMT head office noting that in principle the votes had gone against the RMTs position.

Mr Ramsay reaffirmed that Trains Functional Council were the body that decided on behalf of train operators and that business is conducted between Management and Staff Side and not the separate Trades Unions. Mr Ramsay reiterated his thanks to the Trains Functional Council.
