NIGHT TUBE ISSUES, PICCADILLY LINE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)
There had been two issues affecting our members on the Night Tube - “Night Tube Staff Lone Working” and “Meal Relief Point, Arnos Grove Depot”.
BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, TRAIN OPERATORS, VICTORIA LINE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)
I advised you previously that the NEC had instructed me to obtain a report from the Regional Organiser with regards to the local meetings that were taking place that would hopefully resolve this dispute over the need to improve working relationships between RMT members and Victoria Line management (Ref: IR/399/19, 2nd October 2019).
Dear Colleagues,
JUSTICE FOR ABM CLEANERS (LUL/14/2)
A dispute situation was declared by the National Executive Committee over the company's failure to provide free staff travel, a company-wide sick pay scheme and a decent company pension (Ref: IR/240/19, 13th June 2019).
No progress on these matters has been achieved, despite the best efforts of our representatives and negotiators. Therefore, notice of a ballot of all RMT members at the company was served on ABM this week and the ballot opens on Monday 28th October 2019 and closes on Tuesday 19th November 2019.
