Reports from disputes as they progress, and assessments of them when they are over.
LU made an offer to our unions at Acas today, aimed at resolving our ongoing dispute on stations.
They offered to restore... wait for it... a grand total of... just over 60 jobs! It's a bad joke, worthy of a Christmas cracker.
An RMT report (online here) says the offer misses "by a mile". And the...
As our overtime ban keeps forcing station closures, here's LU's latest wheeze: begging "TfL Ambassadors" (aka "the pink hi-vi brigade") who hold limited stations licenses, to work shifts. Scandalously, they're offering them more money than CSAs get paid, including uplifts for night shifts which...
RMT suspended strikes planned on the Piccadilly and Hammersmith and City Lines, after management made significant concessions in Acas talks.
The union says it has achieved "all objectives" in the Picc Line dispute. According to an RMT circular, management have confirmed that there are "no plans to...
The overtime ban is biting. Major stations including Temple, St. James's Park, Earl's Court, and Bond Street have all closed. Dozens of other stations have had partial closures or been left unstaffed.
LU's online updates continue to use the ridiculous formulation "absence of staff" to explain...

RMT has begun balloting members on stations for strikes, and action short of strikes, against the fallout from "Fit for the Future". Tubeworker encourages all readers to vote yes/yes!
Our correspondents at the latest round of "Managing Our Stations" training courses at Ashfield House tell us that...
In 1969, a wave of strikes by workers in Italy’s car industry was nicknamed “autonno caldo”, the “hot autumn”. As August turns in September, it’s time to start building for our own “hot autumn” on LU.

RMT previously suggested it will ballot stations and revenue staff for renewed strikes...
There's another drivers' strike coming down the line, following a strike by engineering train drivers over the weekend.
RMT and Aslef members struck as part of a dispute over pay and conditions. They've already won a 6.3% pay rise, and are pushing for further concessions on issues including...
The week is ending on a downer for LU station staff, as we discover that management will impose a "Transfer and Promotions" policy that essentially allows them to move us around as and when it suits them, giving us little to no say in the matter.
