District line

East Ham is ready for action!

East Ham staff have delivered a whopping Yes vote for strike action against the rampant bullying on their group and to demand the reinstatement of Sarah Hutchins. 40+ RMT members voted Yes, just 2 No. Hardly surprising given the regime on the group, but it is still good news to see East Ham taking a...

Alone On The Gateline

Remember how we fought off management's attempts to move staff off the gateline at Embankment? Well, they are back for another try!

Management want more platform duties, and neither Tubeworker nor the local staff have a problem with that - so long as we get the extra staff to cover those duties...

Yes or No?

District line management seem to have got their knickers in a twist because East Ham staff are standing up for themselves.

The new Line General Manager - we've heard that his name is Mr Brutal, but we're sure that can't be true - has issued a rather flustered circular, urging staff not to tell...

More Displacements

It is not just Rickmansworth group that is facing forced displacements. Charing Cross and Embankment are in the same boat, with management apparently determined to move staff around just becuase they put them in the wrong place to start with.

Remember those old war films with generals using funny...

Alone On The Gateline

Like most stations, Embankment was just about struggling by with the skeleton staffing levels it was left with in the wake of the 35-hour week: in the peak, two CSAs on the gateline, one on each of two platforms.

But now a big cheese District line manager has decided to stick his oar in and...

Take Action For Eva!

LUL has upheld the outrageous sacking of Eva Bayford on appeal. Eva's workmates are now gearing up for indutrial action to demand her reinstatement - and the rest of us should do all we can to help.

There's a long-standing labour movement maxim that 'an injury to one is an injury to all'...

Corrective Action Plan

At Earls Court control centre, management have introduced 'corrective action plans'. A member of staff gets so many 'items' and they are hauled off by a manager to 'agree' and implement a plan.

But there was no consultation with the union, and there is no involvement of reps in the process...

Wot No Supervisor?

Management have again been covering stations without a station supervisor.

Edgware was recently staffed by an SAMF alone. Management are willing to risk safety and huge disruption for passengers by not having an SS around to secure points - especially at Edgware!

On East Ham grouop, the GSM took...

Above The Law?

You would think that your health and safety rep was entitled to inspect all the areas where you work, right?

Well yes, legally (1977 regulations - 'Brown Book' - to be precise). But apparently the law does not apply to the East Ham group, where the local GSM believes that stations health & safety...

Defend Eva Bayford & Tomi David

Tower Hill Group management has sacked two young probationers Tomi David and Eva Bayford. Their RMT workmates on the group and the rest of the District Line are preparing for action to win their jobs back and defend probationers' rights.

  • Tomi David has been sacked for lateness. On one occasion, she...
