LOB / WLO Level 1 Agenda Sept 8 2016
SUSPENSION, N. BANKS, EALING COMMON DEPOT – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/4/12)
Following an overwhelming vote for action by RMT drivers on the Hammersmith and City and Circle Lines, and a failure to reach an agreement in talks held through ACAS right up to the wire yesterday, the union has confirmed this morning that 24 hours of strike action will go ahead from this evening.
All affected members have been instructed NOT TO BOOK ON for any shifts that commence between:-
DEMONSTRATE: 10am, City Hall (The Queen's Walk, SE1 2AA, London Bridge Tube), and 3pm, Interserve HQ (1-3 College Hill, EC4R 2RA, Cannon Street Tube).
Bring flags, banners, and noisemakers.
Every day, more than 3,000 cleaning workers clean stations, depots, trains, and other facilities to ensure London Underground can run.

Transfer & Promotion (T&P)
Following months of talks in which RMT has out the issue of avoiding multiole displacements following FftF, LU has finally issued a revised proposla that guarantees no-one will be displaced sideways. What this means is that anyone covering down one grade can only be displaced into their permanent substantive position. This removes the threat, contained in all of LU's T&P proposals until now, that members could be dislaced up to five times as LU shuffled us about to get rid of cover downs and over establishment positions.
"it is not politicians and their top officials who will deliver a Night Tube for London it is the cleaners, station staff, drivers, engineers and all the other grades working anti-social hours"
RMT sets out its position on the roll out of the first phase of the Night Tube this weekend.
