Welcome to the RMT East Ham Branch.
We welcome and represent ALL RMT members on the District, H&C (Upminster-Embankment)
This includes Train Drivers, Depot Staff, Station & Revenue Control Staff in our area.
Our branch meets on the 1st Thursday of each month starting 16:30
At The Spotted Dog Pub, 15 Longbridge Road, Barking, IG11 8TN. (Map.)
The nearest tube station is Barking.
Recently Upminster train operators had a collection to pay for a rememberance garden in memory of past drivers from the depot. This is situated at the rear of the new building set amongst the flower beds and cleverly landscaped area. Old disused sleepers have brass plaques displaying names of various past well thought of drivers, that are sadly not with us anymore.
by Rick Grogan, RMT rep, East Ham group
On East Ham group there is an ongoing dispute due to management’s disregard of proper procedure and the bullying and unfair sacking of staff.
A meeting with management made things worse, with management now saying you are not entitled to a union rep until you have been off sick for 28 days.
This opens the door to widespread abuse and bullying of staff. We have been struggling for over a year to get management to accept our agreements and now they have shown their contempt and torn up our right to representation when off sick.
