Show your solidarity with our cleaning grades

Dear colleague,

Show your solidarity with our cleaning grades

RMT has two petitions in circulation currently relating to campaigns being run to support our cleaning grades members. I'm asking all members to make sure they have signed - and shared - these petitions. We're an all-grades union and we look after each other. Getting involved in the campaign to win insourcing and improvements to the pay and conditions of our cleaning grades members is part of what it means to be an industrial union.

DLR pay update

RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2023 - KEOLIS AMEY DOCKLANDS (DLR/0001/KAD)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/166/23, 5th June 2023), the referendum concluded with members voting to reject the offer. The Lead Officer and negotiating team met again with the Company but despite their best efforts, no improved offer was forthcoming.

This situation is clearly unacceptable and while we remain available for further talks, the current impasse is of considerable consternation to members as reflected in a resolution received from DLR Branch.

Faults on 4LM signalling system

Dear Colleague,

LUL – FAULTS IN 4LM SIGNALLING SYSTEM

I have received alarming reports from my Tier 2 safety reps in the Trains and Service Control functions of LUL; a number of software issues have come to light as the Thales 4LM automatic train system is rolled out. LUL was unable to contradict my representatives’ assertion that the railway no longer fails safe. The company accepts that a risk of derailment and/or collision has been imported with the roll out of the 4LM project.
