London Underground has presented RMT with its final offer regarding the Service Control dispute, RMT is now considering this offer and arranging for reps and members to meet tomorrow to discuss this and make a decision if it is good enough..
More info to come!
RMT has put forward our opinion on this document that shows many loopholes for London Underground to not support Service Control staff in the future and allows management to hand pick who goes where.
LU management don't want there to be any transparency in who goes where in Service Control and don't want anything to be done by mutual agreement but for LU to choose and decide everything.
RMT has reconvened at ACAS again today for a second round of talks with London Underground, London Underground has presented a document with their proposals to RMT's demands to settle the dispute.
RMT is now interrogating this document and putting forward our opinion on it.
RMT has written to TSSA asking it to confirm that it will advise members not to work striking RMT members duties.
Please find attached the latest Emergency Service Control Newsletter including advice and guidance through out the industrial dispute currently in Service Control.
