To RMT Members
It has been brought to my attention that some RMT members in Station grades have been sent letters that involve some sort of offer / and or contract to sign under Fit For the future stations. We have been in discussion with management over this matter for some time, and we were waiting for the company to come back to us.
Additionally I have taken legal advice from RMTs lawyers on the matter of contracts under FFFS.

To RMT members (station grades)
Yesterday and today myself and senior RMT stations reps have met management to attempt to make progress on key outstanding issues on Fit for Future: Stations.
- Rosters ( weekend working)
- Short notice change of duties
- Revenue concerns around unlicensed staff servicing ticket machines
- SRT issues around duty allocation
The talks have been quite positive, but not finished and have now adjourned until 0930 tomorrow morning.
Further info will be provided in due course.
Thanks,

Further to previous correspondence where I advised you that RMT would be organising a Week of Action for our LUL Station Grades members between Sunday 7th and Saturday 13th February, the National Executive Committee has considered what form this action should take and instructs all RMT Station Grades NOT TO BOOK ON FOR SHIFTS between the following times:-

Further to my previous Circular (IR/011/16, 14th January 2016) and 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.
