BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, SERVICE CONTROL, OSBORNE HOUSE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)
I previously advised you of the magnificent and unanimous 15-0 vote of our Service Controller members at Osborne House to take strike action (Ref: IR/023/20, 15th January 2020) over a breakdown in industrial relations at the location.
RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2019 - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/0001)
Consultation with our representatives has taken place since London Underground tabled its “full and final offer”, which I advised you of in a previous circular (Ref: IR/465/19, 15th November 2019).
To remind you, the offer tabled at that time was as follows:

· Year 2 - 1.4% plus 30 minute reduction in working week (three banked rest days - target implementation date: mid 2020)
· Year 3 - RPI Feb 2021 +0.2%

As I reported yesterday we met with the LUL Managing Director. This is an updated list of issues and demands that we made in the meeting. This morning I spoke to him again on the phone and emphasised the need to support the staff and contractors across the Underground.

RMT joins other tube unions in demand for urgent top level meeting as coronavirus fears deepen
