Trains modernisation

RMT has told management that we reject their plans for trains modernisation. At a directors meeting on 4 July, LUL refused RMT demands to withdraw the plans and indicated they will press ahead by seeking further discussions at ACAS.

Management’s proposals amount to a package of flexibility demands including longer shifts, more time between breaks, short-term cover with duties given out at the last moment and remote booking on and off.

We need to show management that we will not sit back and accept them pressing on with their agenda for flexible working, job cuts and massive fatigue for T/Op members.

APD – ( Asset Performance Directorate)

Like CSMs on the stations, many members in APD (Asset Performance Directorate) face the uncertainty of organisational change, which can make their jobs redundant and force members into redeployment. Management has confirmed their stance than any protection of earnings would be based on the standard of 3 years protection. This would mean no pay rises for three years and an immediate drop in pensionable pay. RMT has pressed management to guarantee the substantive salaries of members facing organisational change but they refuse to do so.
