Seven resolutions were passed on from DMAC to the NEC from their last meeting (you can read them here). The following reports from the Equal Rights Sub-Committee were noted and adopted by the National Executive Committee (24th July 2020):
DISABLED MEMBERS IN SCOTLAND
TERMS & CONDITIONS, SECURITY STAFF - INTERSERVE (BR1/14/2)
The Lead Officer recently submitted a report regarding Interserve having written to all staff working on the TfL Contract with a proposal to change a term of the contract from zero hours to a guaranteed minimum number of hours each week. RMT is in favour of replacing zero hour contracts with guaranteed hours and the correspondence from Interserve states that the actual working hours will not change.
Dear colleague
RMT PUBLISHES ‘A FUTURE FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN LONDON’, CALLING FOR MORE JOBS AND PROPER FUNDING AT TFL
TUBE UNION RMT has demanded action from tube bosses over rising levels of violent assaults after another horrific incident at Warren Street Station on Friday afternoon.
The incident, which included severe levels of physical violence and the suspect forcing his way into the control room and continuing his assault, is the latest in a line of similar violent acts against tube workers .
On the 54th anniversary of the union defeating the colour bar at Euston station rail union RMT said today that the campaign against racism remains an absolute priority.
On August 15 1966 the colour bar at Euston station was finally defeated when West Indian guard Asquith Xavier was allowed to start work after initially being refused a job.
British Railways had announced, after negotiations with local leaders of the National Union of Railwaymen, that no grade would in future be closed on racial grounds anywhere in the London division.
The latest newsletter from the RMT Stations' Functional Council focuses on the Tory threat to make cuts on the Tube and privatise it.

BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, SERVICE CONTROL, OSBORNE HOUSE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)
Further to my previous (Circular IR/109/20, 18th March 2020) the Union suspended two strikes related to the above dispute to allow talks at ACAS to take place. It was made clear to management at the time that the dispute is ongoing and would not be resolved until industrial relations at Osborne House had improved sufficiently and all members' concerns had been addressed for good.
