BREAKDOWN IN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, TRAIN OPERATORS, VICTORIA LINE - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/112/19, 20th March 2019), I advised the Company that a dispute situation exists over breaches of the attendance at work procedure; unlawful deduction of wages; attempts to derecognise the SSTO grade at the lowest level in the machinery; breaches of the framework agreement including enforced and imposed overtime; unacceptable noise levels on the line and undue pressure and bullying of Drivers from Service Control 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.
