Opps TUPE’d the Wrong People

In quite an amazing show of incompetence, LUL have admitted that they have sent letters to staff involved on the TUPE transfer from LUL to TfL and had not even managed to get the dates correct. More worryingly than this admin error, they also seem to have welcomed people to TfL that were not even part of the TUPE Transfer!

The RMT argued against this rushed and badly organised project and it beggars belief that errors of this kind could occur. An extract from the LUL HR correspondence to us is shown below:

“Proposed transfer of Engineering, Major Projects, PMO and Change Delivery activity from London Underground Limited (LUL) to Transport for London (TfL)

As you are aware the TUPE of Engineering, Major Projects, PMO and Change Delivery from LUL to TfL took place on 9 July.

A letter has been sent to the Engineering TUPE population welcoming them to TfL. It has been brought to my attention that this letter had the incorrect transfer date and has been sent to a number of individuals not in scope of transfer.

TfL HR are working to identify how these errors occurred, put measures in place to rectify and will reissue corrected welcome letters and letters of apology at the earliest opportunity.

I apologise for the confusion. Should you receive any queries from your members regarding the receipt of a TfL welcome letter I would advise they contact their HRBP in the first instance.”

RMT Circular 13th July

 

FIXED TERMS CONTRACTS, WORKSHOP STAFF, PICCADILLY LINE

TUBE LINES

 

Further to my previous Circular (IR/286/17, 10th July 2017) and following the overwhelming ballot result in favour of industrial action, talks were held with the Company at Director level to try to resolve this matter. RMT reiterated our total opposition to fixed term contracts and our position that the 35 jobs affected should be permanently employed staff. The Lead Officer and Reps also put forward a proposal to include the 35 new staff into the current team which management agreed to consider.

 

The NEC has considered the Lead Officer’s report and has noted that although there was some movement from the Company, this was not enough in terms of our members’ aspirations. Consequently it has been decided to call members to take industrial action as outlined below:-

 

With effect from 07.30 hours on  Tuesday 25th July 2017 until further notice members are instructed as follows: –

 

  • Not to work any Overtime
  • Not to carry out roles beyond their substantive positions and locations
  • Not to deviate from current valid approved work instruction documents
  • Not to deviate from current valid approved risk assessments
  • Not to deviate from latest issue of Tube Lines supplement to the rule book
  • Members not to work onsite unless a first aider is on duty
  • Members not to perform coaching and/or buddy duties

 

We salute the determination of members in the rock solid ballot turnout which showed the clear resolve to halt the attempted introduction of two tier workforce in the LU Piccadilly Line Fleet area and I will keep you advised of all further developments.

 

MACHINERY OF NEGOTIATION – KEOLIS AMEY DOCKLANDS (DLR/0005)

 

Further to my previous Circular (IR/204/17, 17th May 2017), the meeting with the NEC, SAGS, RO and Reps has taken place and following final amendments to the revised machinery of negotiation, the negotiating team recommended its acceptance.

 

This matter has now been considered by the National Executive Committee, which congratulates the efforts of all members, Reps, the DLR Branch, Lead Officer and SAGS for their roles in negotiating this M.o.N which represents a significant improvement on the previous ‘partnership’ agreement and includes sole recognition for RMT. In line with the NEC decision, the Company has now been informed of our acceptance of the new machinery.

 

Yours sincerely

LUL – HOT PROCEDURE

 

LUL – HOT PROCEDURE

 

Our representatives on LUL have been raising our members’ concerns over the suitability of and individual employees’ understanding, of the company’s security arrangements following the incident at North Greenwich in October 2016 and more recent high-profile tragedies. Our Regional Organiser was not satisfied with the company’s response to our concerns and the matter was placed in front of the National Executive Committee (NEC). On 11th July 2017 the NEC adopted the following resolution:

 

We note the report from the Lead Officer; and following failed talks with London Underground Management and the significant security situation on Tube network and the strength of concern expressed by our affected Members and their Reps we instruct the General Secretary by the end of this week to: 

  • Write to all members advising them that we are strongly opposed to LU’s insistence, contained in the new HOT Process, compelling our members to look inside unattended items. Also to give guidance to our members on what to do when dealing with such packages. 
  • Seek a face to face meeting with the Mayor to advise him of this issue and to make him clear about our position; and that safety critical training designed to assist our members when dealing with ‘active shooter’ and ‘bladed weapon’. 
  • Contact the DfT to verify statements by LU that these changes are driven by them. We do not believe this to be the case and need the issue clarified.

 

All members to be advised by email and text.

 All relevant Branches and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.

Following on from this Decision further information was received and the matter was once again considered by the NEC. On 13th July 2017 the NEC adopted the following resolution:

 Further to our decision NWW 11.7.17, and upon further examination; we consider it important to note that there has been no changes to Government guidance around HOT procedures, and instructing staff to open or tamper with suspicious packages is contrary to current guidance and may put staff and the travelling public in serious and imminent danger.

 The current guidance advises that if, after following the HOT protocol a member of staff considers an object to be suspect, they should take the following actions in this order:

 (1) clear the immediate area and

(2) inform your supervisor/control.

 So the decision is clearly with the frontline staff on the spot and not with the manager or supervisor.

 Accordingly, any member compelled in a contrary manner by management to open or tamper with a package they consider suspicious may wish to refuse to do so on the grounds of health & safety; and this union will provide them with its full and ongoing support.

 We also note to that the DfT has NOT driven or endorsed London Undergrounds revised HOT procedure as the company have falsely claimed.

 Due to the severe danger of the companies revised HOT procedure and rash approach to consultation with this union on this matter, we instruct the General Secretary to raise this with the London Mayor with utmost vigour and a campaign involving briefing the press and London MP’s.

 We also note the failure of the company due to financial constraints to address the worsening situation of lack of train cab security needs to be raised also with the London Mayor.

 All members to be advised by email and text.

 All relevant Branches and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised.

 I am acting in accordance with this instruction. An RMT guide to the HOT procedure is under production and will be distributed shortly. In the meantime, RMT’s pamphlet on ‘serious and imminent danger’ is available to download from the RMT website at: https://www.rmt.org.uk/news/publications/serious-and-imminent-dangers/

Please bring the contents of this circular to the attention of relevant members.

Yours sincerely

14th June RMT Circular

14th June 2017                                                                         Circular No: IR/247/17

 

Dear Colleagues,

 

FIXED TERM CONTRACTS, WORKSHOP STAFF, PICCADILLY LINE – TUBE LINES (LUL/13/2)

 

Further to my previous Circular (IR/215/17, 24th May 2017), members will recall the dispute situation over Tube Lines’ intention to recruit 35 new staff to work in workshops on the Piccadilly Line on a 2 year fixed term contract. The Union is opposed to this introduction of a two-tier workforce as it will impact upon job security and represents a casualisation of current members’ work. The Union’s position is that all new staff within the Company should be directly employed permanent staff.

The ballot papers will be posted to affected Tube Lines members at Northfields Depot and Cockfosters Depot today and the closing date for the ballot is Tuesday 4th July 2017. If any member does not receive their ballot paper, please ask them to call the Freephone helpline on 0800 376 3706, the switchboard on 0207 387 4771 or e-mail info@rmt.org.uk to request a replacement.

DISCIPLINARY, L. CORNELL, S. SOUISSI & D. SHARP – LONDON BRIDGE – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/4/4)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/204/17, 17th May 2017), the ballot has concluded and the results are as follows:-

The result for strike action is as follows:-

 Number of members balloted…             3,743

Total Votes Cast…                                 1,290 (34.4% turnout)

Number Voting ‘Yes’…                          1,039 (80% but only 28% of members balloted)

Number Voting ‘No’…                           249

Spoilt Papers                                        2

 The 40% and 50% thresholds were both not met.

 The result for action short of strike is as follows:-

 Number of members balloted…             3,743

Total Votes Cast…                                 1,290 (34.4% turnout)

Number Voting ‘Yes’…                          1,112 (86.7% but only 30% of members balloted)

Number Voting ‘No’…                           171

Spoilt Papers                                        7

The 40% and 50% thresholds were both not met.

As you will see from the above, the ballot returned a definite ‘yes’ vote in favour of taking industrial action but the result does not meet the new legal thresholds for turnouts where 50% of members balloted must cast their vote and 40% of members balloted must vote ‘yes’. This means that regrettably, we do not have a mandate to call members to take any industrial action.

It is now more important than ever that EVERY MEMBER RETURNS THEIR VOTING PAPER to make sure that we are not prevented from acting on members’ wishes by the draconian anti-trade union laws.

This matter has been considered by the National Executive Committee and I am currently acting in accordance with its decision to seek release and arrange a meeting of all LU Stations IR and H&S Reps. I will keep Branches advised of all further developments.

PROPOSED TRANSFER OF ENGINEERING, MAJOR PROJECTS, PMO AND CHANGE DELIVERY ACTIVITY FROM LONDON UNDERGROUND LIMITED (LUL) TO TRANSPORT FOR LONDON (TFL) (TFL/15/10)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/156/17, 5th April 2017), further discussions have taken place with the Company and this matter was referred to ACAS last month but the National Executive Committee has noted reports that there are issues which are still not rectified. As a result, the NEC has taken the decision to prepare a ballot matrix of all affected London Underground members in both APD & CPD, advise the Company that we are now in dispute over the issues and proceed to a ballot for industrial action if no resolution to this unsatisfactory situation is agreed.

I am currently acting in accordance with this decision and will keep Branches advised of all further developments.

Yours sincerely

PROPOSED TRANSFER OF ENGINEERING, MAJOR PROJECTS, PMO AND CHANGE DELIVERY ACTIVITY FROM LUL TO TfL

PROPOSED TRANSFER OF ENGINEERING, MAJOR PROJECTS, PMO AND CHANGE DELIVERY ACTIVITY FROM LONDON UNDERGROUND LIMITED (LUL) TO TRANSPORT FOR LONDON (TFL)

Folloiwng LUL’s decision to renege on agreements reached at Tube Lines and Metronet for staff that had been transferred into LUL previously, the RMT have decided that it will not just accept this decision. The General Secretary has sent the branch the following letter.

Further to my letter dated 7th June regarding the above. This matter has been considered by the National Executive Committee, which has taken the following decision:-

“We note the reports from the Lead Officer and that there are issues still not rectified.

 We instruct the General Secretary to prepare a ballot matrix of all affected London Underground members in both APD & CPD, advise the company we are now in dispute; to refer this matter to ACAS and proceed to a ballot for industrial action if no resolution to this unsatisfactory situation is agreed.

 Members to be advised by e-mail and text.

 Relevant Branches and the London Transport Regional Council to be advised”.

I am currently acting in accordance with the above decision and will keep you advised of all further developments.

LUL Engineering TUPE to TfL

Dear ALL,

We met with LUL on the 1st June in a stormy discussion regarding the proposed transfer of 1600 staff into TfL Engineering Directorates.

The RMT reiterated its opposition to this cost cutting change and our commitment to ensuring that our members are protected and their terms and conditions are not affected adversely by this change.

Below are the major areas that were discussed in summary.

  1. Pensions – The RMT stated that the proposed measure to move to Pay for Performance (PfP) will not be supported and want existing staff to remain within their existing LUL Pay Terms and Bands.  We believe that PfP will adversely impact on pensionable pay and future earnings and destroy the Pension Promise made to people on a yearly basis when they receive a pension statement showing what they are likely to receive when they retire.
  2. Functional Council Membership – LUL are fully aware that people have been removed from this TUPE because they are in Operational Grades. This has happened in Fleet, Track and Signals and in Stations & Civils (Lift & Escalators). The removal of people from scope and changing their reporting lines is a change to terms and conditions and a discussion matter for the Trade Unions. For example, the SES Group with its standing Tier 1 Rep is mainly made up of managers that are being TUPE’d. However the whole section sits in Track and Signals and therefore is part of our sphere of influence. These talks affect us all
  3. Collective Agreements – LUL have stated that collective agreements will not transfer but contractual terms and conditions will.  The RMT have massive concerns around this statement and demand clarity as to the specifics of the Metronet and TLL agreements that are considered to be contractual. This statement involves all staff that were transferred from Metronet and Tube Lines and will not go unchallenged. If people believe that we will see our hard won agreements shredded and binned, then they are deluded. Unless we hear positively on this issue, then we will potentially have a dispute involving nearly 4000 people across this TUPE and former Metronet and Tube Lines areas.
  4. Terms and Conditions – We want a full list of individual contract variations provided to us. We want to see exactly what terms LUL believe people have so that we may we challenge and correct this belief. Also, LUL have to provide this information to TfL by TUPE law so they should have this information to hand
  5. H&S – The RMT have continually stated that we believe that there must be discussion regarding Health and Safety. The should be changes potentially that are reflected by a Change Assurance Plan and we must make sure that safety is paramount. We have asked to see all the meeting minutes and inspections that TfL have carried out with its Trade Union Reps.
  6. EQIA – Throughout this whole process, we have stated that we believe minority and women may well be adversely affected by this transfer. What is there to hide and do a EQIA and let’s all see how this affects equality and diversity?
  7. Hidden Measures – We are concerned that there is more to this transfer than is being said. It looks obvious that this is just Phase 1 and that other people may well follow such as Operational Staff in Fleet, Track and Signals and Stations and Civils

It must also be said that this transfer involves far more people and areas than has been described by the company business case. This aspect needs to be fully explored and anyone not in this scope should not transfer. We believe that there has been a ‘land grab’ to get people into TfL and we will do our own ‘land grab’ to get them back!

 

The next Branch Meeting for LU Engineering Branch is 7th June at the Savoy TUP 17:00. If you are affected then please attend and give us your views.

24th May RMT Circular

FIXED TERM CONTRACTS, WORKSHOP STAFF, PICCADILLY LINE – LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/13/2)

 

Further to my previous Circular (IR/193/17, 9th May 2017), the following resolution has been received from LU Fleet Branch:-

 

“This Branch resolved to call on the Union’s NEC to inform the Company that we are now in dispute regarding the intended implementation of a two tier workforce within Piccadilly Line Fleet, after talks with Tube Lines management aimed at resolving a dispute, it has become clear, management, directed by LUL are now willing to chop up our members long term job security by the imposition of 35 fixed term staff allocated to the Piccadilly Line.

 

After canvassing our members’ views, they have made clear that the casualisation of work carried out by our staff will not be tolerated. The Reps in conduit of its members therefore also resolve that the ballot matrix for fleet staff at Northfields and Cockfosters Depots is now prepared in effect to execute our members’ wishes that this issue is fought with the utmost determination, to include industrial action and industrial action short of a strike”.

 

This matter has been considered by the National Executive Committee, which commends the view of the Branch to halt the attempted introduction of a two tier workforce and seek proper permanent employment for all future members joining the company. In line with the decision, I have informed the Company that a dispute now exists over this issue and I am making the necessary preparations to conduct a ballot of affected members. I will keep Branches advised of all further developments.

 

BREACH OF CORE WORK AGREEMENT, CONTRACTING OUT AND USE OF SECONDARY SUBCONTRACTORS – FLEET GRADES – LUL (LUL/13/1)

 

Further to my previous Circular (IR/134/17, 27th March 2017), the National Executive Committee has consulted with the Lead Officer and LU Fleet Branch Reps concerning the latest correspondence from the Company and welcomes the offer from London Underground to pursue the matter with Bombardier and liaise with our Representatives.

 

In line with the NEC decision, I have informed the Company that this dispute is resolved subject to the commitments given. RMT will of course continue to monitor this situation and I will keep Branches advised of any further developments.

 

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash

General Secretary

RMT BALLOT FOR ACTION OPENS TODAY OVER "LONDON BRIDGE THREE"

RMT BALLOT FOR ACTION OPENS TODAY OVER “LONDON BRIDGE THREE”  – TUBE STAFF SACKED AND DISCIPLINED FOR STOPPING VIOLENT ASSAULT

 

Tube union RMT has confirmed that balloting of station staff across the London Bridge and Waterloo group for both strike action and action short of a strike has opened today after one member was sacked and two others disciplined for intervening to stop a serious assault by a fare-dodger on fellow staff members including one who was pregnant. The ballot will close on the 18th April.

In the incident, which occurred last November, a fare-dodger assaulted three members of staff, including pushing a pregnant colleague in the stomach. One staff member had his glasses stolen and another was punched twice. That member of staff has now been sacked in what the union describes as an “appalling miscarriage of justice.” RMT has slammed LU for bogus and disgraceful claims that the female member of staff wasn’t assaulted – despite the fact that they admitted that crucial fact in the disciplinary hearings.

The staff member who initially challenged the fare-dodger to produce a ticket or oyster card was disciplined on the ludicrous, trumped-up charge of “ inciting or provoking an incident.” A third member of staff, who defused the situation after being repeatedly threatened with violence, has also been disciplined by London Underground when they should have been commended for their bravery.

As a result one member of staff has been sacked with the other two members receiving 52 week final warnings.

The sacked member of staff has since had his dismissal upheld on appeal leading to a warning from the union that it is actively looking at escalation of the dispute.

RMT General Secretary Mick Cash said:

“This is one of the most appalling abuses of the LU disciplinary procedure that RMT has ever come across. This was a shocking, violent incident and those that bore the brunt of it should have been supported and commended by the company. Instead they have been sacked or disciplined in what is the most appalling multiple miscarriage of justice.

“The ballot for strike action and action short of a strike of station staff members at London Bridge and Waterloo opens today and the union is looking at a planned escalation if London Underground continue to pursue this outrageous vendetta against staff members set up and picked off for simply doing their job in a violent situation. The union also intends to bring this matter to the attention of London Mayor Sadiq Khan who cannot sit back and ignore a travesty of justice that is taking place on his watch.

“LU have flouted their own zero tolerance policy, their own duty of care to their staff and have sent out a message to fare dodgers and yobbos that staff can be treated as punch bags with impunity. That is an outrage that has enraged every single tube employee who risks their neck on the stations and platforms against a backdrop of a growing pattern of abuse and violence.”

 

“London Underground should do the decent thing – reinstate our member, lift the disciplinary action and send out the message that fare-dodging and violence will not be tolerated and that staff in the front line will get the support and assistance that they need.”

PROPOSED TRANSFER OF ENGINEERING etc to TfL

PROPOSED TRANSFER OF ENGINEERING, MAJOR PROJECTS, PMO AND CHANGE DELIVERY ACTIVITY FROM LUL TO TFL

Following a communication sent out by LUL on Monday 27th March regarding the above, I am writing to all RMT LUL members to ensure you are clear on the above situation and RMT’s position in relation to the associated consultation process.

LUL and TfL advised in a letter dated 28th February of its proposal to transfer all Engineering, Major Projects, Change Delivery and PMO Activity from LUL to TfL and an initial ad-hoc London Underground Company Council meeting took place on 10th March. There are 1511 affected employees across the above functions but members covered by the Main Agreement are not affected and neither is Tube Lines part of these proposals. RMT immediately advised LUL that a proposed transfer date of 2nd April was far too short notice and the proposed transfer date is now 30th April 2017.

In the notice from LUL on Monday 27th March, it states that “thus far, the unions have chosen not to engage meaningfully in this process” but this is not the case at all. Your Regional Organiser John Leach has sought certain assurances from LUL and I have written on three separate occasions urging LUL to agree to three simple demands:-

  1. That no transfers or changes to terms and conditions will take place or be imposed without agreement from RMT.
  2. That the current LUL pay deal, which is incorporated into members’ terms and conditions will continue to be paid and implemented following this transfer in line with TUPE regulations.
  3. That LUL agree to full and proper negotiation and consultation over this major issue at London Underground Company Council Level.

The National Executive Committee has considered this matter and is completely resolved to resist these attacks by the Company with all means at our disposal. I will of course keep you advised of all further developments.

Yours sincerely

Mick Cash
