Dear Colleague,
EXCESSIVE TRACK NOISE - LONDON UNDERGROUND
I write to advise you that the ballot has now closed and the result is as follows: -
Are you prepared to take industrial action short of a strike?
Number of individuals who were entitled to vote in the ballot: 748
Number of votes cast in the ballot: 385
Number of individuals answering “Yes” to the question: 371
Ballot papers have arrived. All members should vote YES for action short of strike, now. Time is running out; the ballot closes on September 10th so if you haven’t already posted your ballot paper please do it today.
The RMT have been forced to escalate this action due to LU offering insufficient mitigation to the problem.
EXCESSIVE TRACK NOISE - LONDON UNDERGROUND
You will all be aware that there has been a massive increase in the incidence of anti-social behaviour and assaults on members of LUL staff in recent times. On the District East Group in particular there have been a number of violent incidents on trains and stations which have caused grave concerns for staff safety, particularly for those lone-working.
Dear Colleague,
Join thousands at the Annual Burston Strike School Rally on Sunday 1st September 10:00 - 16:00, to commemorate the longest strike in history and to celebrate the people who continue to fight for Trade Union rights, working class education, democracy in the countryside and International solidarity.
