Submitted by rmtlondon on 11 February, 2014 - 02:44
Today, your functional representatives attended ACAS, unfortunately despite the many options offered by the RMT London Underground management didn't budge.
We have stated many times that we can only discuss future plans for London Underground when they agree to stop implementing the changes without proper negotiations and discussions.
So far we haven't been able to see eye to eye. We remain hopeful and will attend tomorrow, however we are still unable to call the action off due to management’s reluctance to put a hold to the cuts and enter into meaningful negotiations.
