Video: Night Tube strike update

Submitted by Admin on 25 November, 2021 - 11:37

On the eve of the first of several proposed Night Tube strikes, Regional Organiser John Leach updates members.

In the video, John explains: "After 6 months of trying to explain and persuade London Underground management that you cannot abolish 200 positions, rip up an agreement that protects our members work life balance, and their right to not have to do these {Night Tube} duties if they can't, we have to stand up and be counted."

Dear Colleague,

REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND

All Train Operator and Instructor Operator members on the Bakerloo Line, District Line, Central Line, Hammersmith & City Line, Jubilee Line and Victoria Line have been taking action to physically check their train before detraining. Now due to the anti-trade union laws, this ballot mandate will expire and it is necessary to ballot members again for this action to continue.

I have produced a leaflet here and would ask you to circulate the leaflet as widely as possible.

STATIONS & REVENUE INDUSTRIAL ACTION CALLED

Your Lead Officer has consulted with your Stations Reps and received detailed feedback on members’ demands in response to LUL’s latest position and proposals regarding station staffing. A further presentation was made at Stations Functional Council recently to completely re-organise station areas which has only added to members anger over these attacks on your jobs and terms and conditions.
