Strategy Proposal For Fighting Job Cuts And Attacks On Tube Driver Conditions

Submitted by Janine on 20 November, 2012 - 00:24

As I understand it, the main current issues facing drivers are:

  • a clampdown on discipline and attendance
  • LUL refusing to confirm that Met line T/Ops only will operate the S7 train on the Met line
  • plans to deploy I/Ops on lines other than their own and/or to cross-train other lines' T/Ops or
    I/Os as occurred on the Met line
  • new drivers being repeatedly moved from depot to depot
  • the possible development of a pool of drivers covering a larger area than just one depot, or
    even one line

This message has been circulated by Sindyanna, a women's workers' co-operative associated with the Workers' Advice Centre (WAC-MAAN) in Galilee, which RMT supports.

Dear Friends of Sindyanna,

It is with a heavy heart that I forward this message from WAC-MAAN calling for an end to the war on Gaza, an end to the Israeli occupation, and a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.

Please read and share widely.

In hope of better days,

Hadas Lahav

Inspiring Young Members- #oct20 A tale of two Cities

On October the 20th 2012, what were you doing?
I was at a protest holding a banner whilst trying to tweet- a pretty difficult thing to do!
RMT young members played a key role in organising for the demonstration against austerity and to promote all this hard work I was snapping the moment and sharing with the world. Little did I know I had gained a new follower all the way up in Scotland and he too was a RMT young member who had not been involved with the young members group but was at the Glasgow demo.
