Dear Colleagues,

DEFEND JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/052/23. 28th February 2023), a resolution has been received from our Hammersmith & City Branch, regarding the imposition of new rosters. The Company has not properly consulted our Reps over these rosters which are unworkable, and members wish to fight back against the detrimental effect these cuts will have, including on their work/life balance.

Dear Colleagues,

REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND

Your Union is concerned by reports that London Underground intends to remove detrainment staff from the Bakerloo, District, Central, Hammersmith & City and Jubilee Lines, and impose the 'flash and dash' procedure for detrainments. This is a serious attack on station staffing levels which threatens passenger safety, as well as that of you and your colleagues.

Dear Colleagues,

DEFEND JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/288/22, 23rd December 2022), our Piccadilly & District West Branch and our Bakerloo Line Branch submitted resolutions regarding the imminent imposition of job cuts and worse rosters on Station Areas. Both Branches requested an overtime ban to fight back against the detrimental effect these cuts will have on members' work/life balance.
