RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – INTERSERVE (KEOLIS AMEY DOCKLANDS CONTRACT)
You and your colleagues delivered a magnificent vote in support of taking industrial action in protest against management’s total inadequate response to your union demands for a decent pay offer for our members.
All members of East Ham Branch are encourage to attend the next meeting, which will take place on Thursday 4th June at 16:45 at The Spotted Dog in Barking.
The General Grades Committee has received advice from our legal department that there may be some issues with the ballot for Noel Roberts. This is a symptom of the disgraceful anti-Trade Union laws we are dictated by.
BALLOT OVER WAGES and ALL-NIGHT RUNNING
The RMT has declared a dispute with LUL over wages and all-night running and is preparing to ballot for strike action.
An outrageous attempt to drive a coach and horses through existing procedures has been attempted by LUL managers who wish to impose new rosters on staff in the run up to the introduction of night tube operation on 12th September 2015. The rosters would pin staff into a regime of anti-social hours and appalling working conditions.
London Underground has finally revealed its revised staffing figure for our stations. After 7 months of discussions, around the rosters in every area, 59 jobs have been restored.
This means, taking into account the 64 jobs won back in earlier talks, that LU now plans 838 job cuts instead of 953.
We have won 115 jobs back in talks but we have made it clear to the company at today’s meeting that 838 cuts remains totally unacceptable. It will leave stations dangerously understaffed and it will put members working on stations in an impossible position.

Dear colleague
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – NETWORK RAIL
After four days of talks at conciliation service Acas between your union and Network Rail management, the company has tabled a revised offer. Your Executive Committee has considered this offer and decided to suspend all industrial action which had been scheduled to take place on Monday 25th May and Tuesday 26th May 2015.
The suspension of the action will give your Executive Committee an opportunity to hold urgent consultations with your Area Council Representatives next week.
