News, reports and information for RMT members who work for London Underground Ltd
As a consequence of some appalling local management on the Finsbury Park Group, our branch has published a special edition of Monthly News to highlight what has been going on there. Click on the attachment to download a copy and read all about it.
RMT and London Underground are discussing pay at ACAS today.
RMT hopes that London Underground management take this opportunity to increase their insulting-low pay offer. Your union will ballot members for strike action should LUL's pay offer not give you a decent rise.
Check back to this website for news of what happens at the talks.
It seems as though a sensible decision has been made, as it was announced this week that Metronet will remain under the management of LUL. It's recent transition to LUL had been on a temporary basis but will now be ongoing. The Department for Transport has a press release on this issue:
THE COMBINATION of private-sector greed and £5 billion in transport cuts planned by London’s mayor threaten to derail the Tube upgrades that are essential to the capital’s economic future, the network’s biggest union said today.
Meanwhile, management seems to have seen the resolution of the 5 rounder issue as a green light to continue their vindictive campaign of harassment and intimidation against Glen Watson, our rep at Seven Sisters depot.

This is an extract of RMT's Official circular regarding LUL - IR/296/09 dated 9th October 2009 from General Secretary Bob Crow
As you will be aware, RMT has been in a dispute situation with LUL for most of this year. There have been several areas of dispute including this year’s pay claim, breaches of agreements and threats to jobs.
The Jubilee South and East London Line Branch meeting is held at The Blue Eyed Maid in London Bridge. Each meeting is on pay day at 1600 hours.
There is a map here for the Blue Eyed Maid. It is at most a five minute walk from the Borough High Street exit of London Bridge station.
