That we note the resolution from our Piccadilly & District West Branch regarding the unacceptable situation around flaws in the company’s POM procedures which are leading to financial discrepancies and disciplinary action against our members.

We instruct the General Secretary to arrange a director level meeting with the company with the knowledge that if our meeting request is refused or the outcome is not acceptable; a combine wide stations dispute may be our only and necessary course of action.

After five days of “negotiation”, London Underground has rejected all the demands in RMT’s pay claim. LU has made an “offer”, which is for a one-year deal on pay only, proposing an RPI percentage increase (currently 2.5%), and which is contingent on the union dropping all demands in our claim, including the demand for a flat-rate pay increase and a 32-hour working week.

The RMT has submitted a Freedom of Information request that has revealed that stations were left unstaffed on at least 863 occasions last year, totalling 7490 hours.

This comes in spite of London Underground's promise following the much hated 'Fit for the Future' job cuts plan that all stations would be staffed during traffic hours.
