Subject: INACCURATE RECORDINGS ON ELECTRONIC INCIDENT REPORTING FORMS (EIRF) – LUL

That we note the resolution from the London Transport Regional Council regarding the company’s move to remove Train Operators ability to give their account of incidents involving them, and the obvious victimisation of our members that will undoubtedly result.

This is totally unacceptable and we instruct the General Secretary to have this matter taken up at the highest level with London Underground.

All operational branches and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.
