LUL Pay Branch Survey

Dear ALL

 

This is just to update you all that the branch carried out a survey on the two LUL pay offers. It is now closed.

 

This survey was to help our negotiators understand better what our members want and that our members are streadfastly determined to fight to better their terms and conditions. To that end, we won’t reveal the survey votes at this time to ensure that we negotiate the best deal for you. However, I can confirm the replies was overwhelming and extremely strong.

 

Under the law, should we ballot we must reach certain thresholds and in just 8 hours, we recieved over 600 completed replied.

 

We do recognise that survey’s such as this, and others are not the only way to reach and interact with our members but it is a useful tool to contact you all fast.

 

Please continue to feedback your views to our reps and come to the branch.

 

If you did not recieve a messgae, it was ONLY sent to members of the LUEngineering Branch working for LUL.

 

But also please check that your contact details are correct by logging in at:

Do you want to be an RMT Rep?

We elect all our representatives and officers for the branch every year in November.

 

So if you wish to be a rep or support someone else that does, then please come to the Branch AGM

 

Branch AGM Details

 

 

What a rep does?

 

Union Reps: They represent you. They should listen to your views and make sure management hear and act on what our members want. They are here to help you if you have problems and if you get in trouble. Sometimes it will seem like the only friend you have is your union rep. So support them to support you

 

Health and Safety Reps: We come to work to earn money, not to go home in a body bag or hurt. Unionised work places are safer. We work together with companies and sometimes in conflict to make sure that our work places are safe. Your reps carry out inspections and investigations and regularly meet with companies to ensure it is safe at work

 

Union Learner Reps: We want everyone to fulfil their potential. That can be through pay and conditions but also through education. Union Learner Reps are here to help you through education. They can help you find courses and maybe get release from work and funding

The Bob Crow Branch

Yesterday, the RMT agreed to change the name of our branch to the ‘Bob Crow Branch’ until the end of 2019.

 

This is the 5th anniversary of the passing of our late General Secretary and friend, Bob Crow and he is sadly missed by us all. As a mark of respect, we intend to honour his legacy and memory by the change to our name and other events throughout the year.

 

We are also in the process of having a new branch banner created which we intend to donate to his family.

 

Should anyone have their own memories of Bob, especially in his early days at LUL in the Veg Gang, please contact me, Paul Jackson, 07810 643 681 or post them on our memorial page below
