TO ALL RMT LUL REPRESENTATIVES INVOLVED IN REVIEW OF MACHINERY AND CONSULTATION

Dear Colleagues,

MACHINERY OF NEGOTIATION AND CONSULTATION – LONDON UNDERGROUND

Please find below copy of General Grades Committee decisions relating to the above matter, including merged files, up until 20^th February 2013.

We note the report from our Regional Organiser and the resolution from our Finsbury Park branch.

We note that it is the unanimously-held view of our drivers' representatives and branch officers on the Piccadilly line that the union should ballot Piccadilly line drivers for strike action without delay.

Our representatives believe that the line's management are riding roughshod over agreements and for some time appear to have been deliberately misinterpreting policy on SPADs, holistic reports and attendance, particularly at Arnos Grove.

We note that a meeting is to take place with ISS on 18 April and instruct the General Secretary to place a report of this meeting in front of us.

We further note that ISS intends to only pay the uprated level of the London Living Wage six months after the uprating is announced, and claims that this is allowed for in its contract. We are appalled by this, which means in practice that our members are expected to live on less than a living wage for 50% of their lives.
