STRIKE ACTION SUSPENDED – WORK AS NORMAL TUES 26TH & WED 27TH JANUARY

Our Ref: LUL/0001

25th January 2016

Dear Colleague,

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE AND NIGHT RUNNING
LONDON UNDERGROUND

STRIKE ACTION SUSPENDED – WORK AS NORMAL TUES 26TH & WED 27TH JANUARY

Further to my letter dated 21st January, all members will have a copy of the revised offer from London Underground in respect of Pay, Night Tube and Fit for the Future Station. For your ease of reference, the full offer can still be accessed on our website via http://bit.ly/1VaPXTA.

The mass meeting of your RMT Reps took place today and having considered the views from this meeting, the National Executive Committee has taken the decision to suspend this week’s strike action. Members are therefore instructed to work as normal on Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th January 2016.

Both these disputes, on Pay & Night Tube and on Every Job Matters will be considered by the National Executive Committee again on Thursday 28th January. The future strike dates in February currently remain in place and I will keep you advised of all further developments.

EVERY JOB MATTERS – DEFENDING JOBS ON LONDON UNDERGROUND

In addition to the above, the National Executive Committee has recommitted to a Week of Action from Sunday 7th February 2016. All Station Grades members should be very clear that RMT has not, and has never accepted any part of the Fit for the Future Stations proposals.

To reiterate, as things stand there will be industrial action called for RMT Station Grades members during the WEEK OF ACTION COMMENCING SUNDAY 7TH FEBRUARY 2016 I will keep you advised of all further developments.

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash
General Secretary
