Report from Company Council Joint Working Party number 4
John Leach (RO), Roy Carey & Jared Wood attended for RMT
Phil O’Hare took the chair and explained that he is standing in for Nigel Holness, who is on annual leave.
The minutes from the previous JWP were accepted by all parties.

death of a passenger during the current rail strike in South
Korea when untrained personnel are being used to substitute
for striking workers.
Tube Union RMT confirmed today that a ballot of members across London Underground in a dispute over jobs, services and safety has recorded a massive vote for both strike action and action short of a strike.
