Workers' Liberty

Some anonymous clown has put up notices at Elephant & Castle depot showing images from the CCTV recording of the incident that led to Jerome Bowes' sacking.

Jerome Bowes' workmates are escalating the fight for his reinstatement, with RMT balloting Elephant & Castle drivers so that they can join station staff on the next strike.

23 people, including a child, were stuck in the lift at Elephant & Castle for nearly an hour and a half last Friday. Why?

LUL obviously finds cross-track projection (XTP) very exciting and very lucrative.

Brent Trades Council held a meeting of around 50 people to defend a cleaner rep at Stonebridge park depot sacked during the strike - then put its commitment to solidarity into practice immediately by

LUL management have surpassed even themselves, sacking a member of station staff using a completely different company's discplinary procedure.

As RMT reps and activists picketed Elephant & Castle station this morning in support of sacked CSA Jerome Bowes, they were attacked by an enraged passer-by, who delivered some racist abuse and left one rep with a split lip and a face covered in blood before the police took him away.

This weekend, station staff on Charing Cross group will strike to demand that LUL reinstates Jerome Bowes, a CSA sacked for being assaulted

Well the Willesden Junction staff got booted out to Stonebridge Park on 18 May. The facilities (ha ha) are a disgrace. One small GLAP on the Northbound platform for two staff.

It's amazing how a member of staff can be a victim of an assault yet LUL management treat them as the villain.

It is not just Rickmansworth group that is facing forced displacements.

Today's the day that management expect former Willesden Junction staff to go to work at Stonebridge Park, despite not actually bothering to ask them if they want to transfer there, and having ignored all their letters of protest.

Duty sheets at Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus are showing loads of duties unfilled.

Yes, you won't believe this but drivers on the Bakerloo have been told off and told an item will go on their 'HOLISTIC RECORD' for entering Willesden Junction too slowly on the northbound causing the wrong road trainstop to raise and rear trip the train.

Management want to transfer the Willesden Junction staff to Stonebridge Park next month. All their propaganda states this. But the staff concerned have not been asked nor their rep consulted!

The ink is not dry on the stations agreement with management and they start their old tricks again.

LUL's plan to move detrainments from Willesden Junction to Stonebridge Park will whip staff out of the frying pan and toss them into the fire.

Back in early February, there was a suspected one-under at Kenton, which came to light when a Virgin train stopped short at Harrow & Wealdstone early in the morning.

It seems that staff destined for the Heathrow Terminal 5 are to be trained at Queen's Park station in detrainments.

Despite promising not to let it happen again, management have once again allowed cash to be carried on a train from one station to another on the north end of the Bakerloo line.

LUL is very proud of its new acquisitions from Silverlink. Shame it doesn't put the effort in.

While management still seem to be in denial about the dangers of detraining alone, an incident happened at Queens Park last week that should wake even them from their slumbers.

Tubeworker wonders whether duty managers actually read policies before using them to bash staff.

Mayor Livingstone commisioned a Nuclear Transportation Risk Assesment for London due to concerns about trains carrying nuclear waste through London. This was awarded to Serco Assurance Limited.

So, the marvellous Connect radio system has 'gone live' on the Bakerloo line.

Only problem is: it is affecting the volume of the PA, T-Test and DVA.

Will management ever get this right?!

Management have this policy that they can require you to produce a medical certificate from day one of sickness in certain circumstance - on public holidays, on strike days, or if you have a poor sickness record.

Occupational Health seem to have a case of hearing loss, as they appear not to be listening to Bakerloo drivers' enquiries about, erm, hearing loss.

Yesterday, the OPO equipment at South Kenton failed, and a CSA from Wembley Central was deployed to the platform to give drivers the right.

On last Wednesday's football night, a detrainment CSA was dragged the length of the platform by some blokes who were annoyed that the train wouldn't be going all the way to their destination.

A mere four days into the Silverlink transfer, and it seems that things are going wrong already.

You know LUL's claim that security guards would keep the stations safe at night?
