Subject: BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, TRAIN OPERATORS, CENTRAL LINE – LONDON UNDERGROUND

That we note the resolve from our Central Line Driver members to bring the company to the table and that to resolve this dispute strike action now looks likely depending upon the coming meeting with the new line management.

We place this matter in the Southern Sub-Committee for examination and report.

Central Line East & West branches and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.

Subject: REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF, WATERLOO, WATERLOO & CITY LINE – LONDON UNDERGROUND

That we note the current live ballot mandate to protect our members and traveling public from the company’s cavalier approach to detrainment is about to expire due to the government anti-trades union laws; and that we need to conduct another ballot to assist our members to continue working safely.

Further to our NEC decision of 11.6.19; we further add and clarify the following instruction on the General Secretary to ballot all affected Station Staff at the Heathrow Group and Train Operators, Night Tube Train Operators & Operator Instructors on the Piccadilly Line for industrial action in the form of:

• Strike Action
• Station Staff to refuse lone working at all times
• Train Ops to refuse to enter sidings alone / unaccompanied

Members to be advised by email & text.
