TO ALL LONDON UNDERGROUND TRAIN OPERATORS & INSTRUCTOR OPERATORS
Dear Colleague,
It has been widely reported today that London Underground's Night Tube Service will not now happen until next year.
Responding to the development; RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said; "This crisis management of the Night Tube could have been avoided if LU hadn't chosen to try and railroad through imposed rosters and had stuck to the agreed negotiating framework from the off.
Your Train Functional reps (from both unions) along with John Leach met the employers at ACAS on Tuesday afternoon (September 15th). The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a joint RMT/Aslef proposal to introduce Night Tube.
We note the report from our Lead Officer. LUL have suspended Night Tube and talks will resume at ACAS. This is due to the action and resolve of our members. We therefore instruct the General Secretary to suspend the industrial action planned for the 8th and 10th September, and advise London Underground.
We further instruct the General Secretary:-

Dear Colleague,
LONDON UNDERGROUND DISPUTES UPDATE
Rates of Pay & Conditions of Service and Night Running – London Underground
Every Job Matters – Defending Jobs on London Underground
RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE AND NIGHT RUNNING – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/0001) and EVERY JOB MATTERS – DEFENDING JOBS ON LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/5)
Further to my previous Circular (IR/200/15, 20th August 2015) we have been in intensive discussions with LUL at ACAS in an effort to reach agreement and resolve these two disputes. Now, as a result of the 100% support we have been receiving from members including two all-out strikes, a position was reached that allowed us to suspend the industrial action.
