It would seem that despite assurances during the transfer of Drivers from the East London line that they could remain at whichever depot they nominated until such time as the ELL was reopened LUL are now determined to renege on the deal. There are currently plans afoot to disperse them wherever LUL like. This despite the fact that most of them are East end based, they could end up stationed anywhere on the combine. The RMT is determined to fight this injustice and for a change the ASLEF are onboard too !
Another example of the caring Management attitude on LUL and particularly on the Central line, Management have been told that they have to interview every single member of staff who is currently off sick with a view to forcing them back to work, this includes those who have had one unders or have been in hospital for operations etc. At least one TOM has advised local reps to brush up on their knowledge because “We will be coming for your members who are taking the piss” All staff on the Central and elsewhere need to keep their nerve and fight these drastic attacks on those who are displaced and or off sick. Management are obviously determined to stifle the unions (particularly the most effective one, the RMT) prior to the pay talks and the expected forced three year pay ‘deal’
