REDUNDANCIES, STATION ADMIN STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/16/3)
The following resolution has been received from our East Ham Branch:-
“This branch is appalled by London Underground's proposals to significantly cut numbers of Stations Admin staff.
These cuts will cause unacceptable stress to our members, with increased workloads, significant changes to their roles and unsafe workloads. Additionally, this will create extra work for our station staff members, who will have to take on some of the responsibilities that currently fall to our admin members.
REDUNDANCIES, STATION ADMIN STAFF – LONDON UNDERGROUND
We note the resolution from our East Ham Branch and the effect the admin staff reductions will have on our Members.
We instruct the General Secretary to arrange a meeting of all our senior IR Reps affected along with the Lead Officer; Senior Assistant General Secretary and NEC and
to launch a campaign to completely oppose these cuts.
London Underground Branches and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.
This is an open letter from station staff RMT members to our support staff (AG1’s in old money).
We have become increasingly concerned at the proposals you are facing as part of LU’s so-called Transformation. We ourselves have just been dragged through the lunacy of Fit for the Future: Stations, and we always knew that when LU had finished with us, other groups of LU staff would likely come under the cosh.
RAIL UNION RMT confirmed today that it will be holding a national protest outside Parliament on Wednesday the 25th of April at 11.30 at Old Palace Yard, London, SW1P 3JY (Opposite the Palace of Westminster and in front of the George V statue).
Dear Colleagues
Update on the Status of LU Transformation
Since the details of common principles for all work-streams were agreed, we have been working on the details of 18 separate work streams - examining the possibilities and consequences of individual pools – this has slowed progress significantly as the workload is considerable. Furthermore and more importantly, we have tabled counterproposals and challenged the designs put forward to us as well as arguing points of principle.
Our objectives thus far have been relatively simple:
The RMT NEC has unanimously passed the following resoul;ution.
London Transport Regional Council submits the following resolution:

11th January 2018 Circular No: IR/23/18
Dear Colleagues,
TFL TRANSFORMATION (TFL/15/4)
Further to my previous Circular (IR/431/17, 28th September 2017), where I advised that TfL was undertaking a ‘root and branch’ review of the business with the intention of hitting a savings target of £5.8bn – made up from £5.2bn Business Savings and £0.6bn Operating Model Savings, discussions with the Company have continued.
Subject: redundancies, lul contract – balfour beatty
We note the correspondence on file and the serious threats to our members from redundancy and refer this matter into our Southern Sub Committee for examination and report.
LU Engineering Branch and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.
Let nobody be in any doubt - this is a fantastic result for Danny. Having been sacked for an alleged offence that certainly didn’t merit dismissal, Danny was looking at a bleak future for himself and his family. On appeal he was given a position as a CSA2, but after a formal request from the RMT Regional Organiser to the HR Director Danny was moved to a CSA1 position. Then the result of the RMT ballot for strike action came back and suddenly the landscape changed.
