Tube bosses seek Hammersmith Control Centre 'avoidance of dispute' meeting

BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, HAMMERSMITH SERVICE CONTROL CENTRE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

I write further to my previous Circular (IR/108/21, 17th March 2021) where I informed you of numerous issues amounting to a Breakdown in Industrial Relations centred around Hammersmith Service Control Centre. An ad hoc meeting of the Service Control Functional Council has taken place in which London Underground presented their proposals to address the issues that have been raised as part of the dispute which were deemed unacceptable in their current form.

The company have subsequently sought an Avoidance of Dispute meeting with our Lead Officer and reps, stating that they have a comprehensive proposal to make which will resolve all matters in the current dispute between.

Your National Executive Committee has considered the matter and instructed that a report of the Avoidance of Dispute meeting is placed back before them.

I will keep Branches advised of all further developments in this dispute as it progresses.
