A regular newsletter specifically for the London Underground stations grade, produced by the RMT Stations Functional Council.
WHAT THE CURRENT DISPUTE MEANS TO YOU: PART 1 - JOB CUTS
As you know, RMT members on London Underground are striking to defend jobs, pensions and agreements. This is one of three newsletters that gives a more detailed look at how each of these issues affects station staff in particular.
Read the attached newsletter for the following info:
In the January edition of RMT News, read about LU's plan to slash station jobs and how the RMT is preparing to respond following our successful ballot.
LU quietly announced last week that our terms and conditions, framework agreements and pensions are under scrutiny: On 22 July, at an all union meeting LU management made clear they have entirely accepted the Tories’ terms - that tube workers, and not the government must make up for the massive budget deficit caused by the pandemic.
ABYSMAL AS USUAL. Some AMs are endangering our members’ health and safety by trying to tear up the Covid working arrangements on stations without consultation with our reps.
For more than a year the RMT has sought to keep our members safe at work whilst still delivering a service during the pandemic.
The latest RMT Stations' newsletter is attached, please download it to read.
LOCKDOWN 2.0: RMT DEMANDS IMPROVED WORKPLACE SAFETY, JOB SECURITY AND PROTECTED PENSION ARRANGEMENTS.
Violence against staff on LU stations is becoming a daily occurrence.
Lone working is not acceptable when our members face such high levels of risk of assault.
LU has refused to fill nearly 100 RCI posts and now management are talking about downgrading these jobs.
The running sore of CSA2 members being paid thousands of pounds less than others for doing the same job must be resolved.

Currently, our trains are “prepped” (i.e., have basic safety checks performed) every 24 hours. LU now wants to extend that schedule to every 96 hours, or even more.
On some lines their proposals suggest that trains will only be fully prepped every 82 days.
