by a lack of staff leading to shifts being left uncovered.
Subject: BULLYING & HARASSMENT, METROPOLITAN LINE SOUTH COVER GROUP – LONDON UNDERGROUND
That we congratulate the Lead Officer and our representatives on the progress made on these matters; especially the re-instatement of Bro Mahoney and the easing off by management on our other members.
We note that the letter of 17th December 2018 from the company is acceptable to the Trains Functional Council reps; and we welcome this and we stay in dispute for the time being to monitor the situation.
Members to be advised by email and text.
The threat of strikes has secured significant concessions from London Underground management on the Bakerloo Line South Group.
The company has made an explicit commitment to scrap its previous policy of designating certain duties less important to cover, and shift to a policy of instructing managers to “make every effort” to cover all duties as a default.
Bosses have also committed to launch a review of the baseline staffing level, via which RMT reps will be making proposals for additional jobs.
Following an overwhelming YES vote for action by RMT Bakerloo South Group members over the Company’s failure to ensure sufficient shift coverage in line with previous commitments given the union has confirmed a programme of industrial action, warning that LU’s current position creates undue stress on staff and puts all members and the travelling public at increased risk.

We note the report from the Lead Officer, and that despite the Stations & Revenue Functional Council Reps best efforts in raising these matters with the company they have remained belligerent and:
Refused to re-instate Bro Mahoney and drop the misplaced charges against him.
