8/10/2019 November Service Control Newsletter

RMT SERVICE CONTOL 21st November 2014
Night TubeManagement have explained they wish to start running night
tubes. The proposal is simple. They wish to run in varying degrees
of service during what would normally be engineering hours on the
Central, Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly and Victoria Lines.
We have raised a number of concerns but the biggest issue we have
is the Professional Service Control Agreement !PSCA"does not
allow this. It says:
A.4.1 Please see detailed below, arrangements for major special
events where it is necessary to operate the railway for customers
throughout the night. It is not envisaged that this would normally
exceed thee events per annum.

HSCC
In our last newsletter we
explained about the latest
developments at
Hammersmith and the SSR
upgrade. Since then we have
seen emails claiming the
Piccadilly line is going to South
Kensington. So far nothing has
been confirmed. As soon as
the contracts are finalised we
should be given information
about the SSR upgrade.
Earls Court
We have been told there is a
plan to introduce a new desk
to help with the WARS input.
So far it is in the infant stages
but it is believed an extra
position may be created to
facilitate this.
Waterloo and City
The Waterloo and city has nowbecome the longest dispute
the RMT have with LUL. Staff
are being balloted for
industrial action over the extra
work expected of them with no
chance of remuneration.
Look out for a special W&C
Strike Newsletter in December.

We believe this means management cannot implement it without
our agreement. The PSCA was written with no all night working in
mind, however as times have moved on management are trying to
impose it upon us by claiming these do not count as special
circumstances. We do not agree and will not accept such severe
changes without a fight.
If you or your local roster champions have been asked about the
rosters, PLEASE DO NOT PARTICIPATE. Until we are able
to reach an agreement on the PSCA we cannot allow Night Tube
to be snuck in the back door.
Medical Consent FormsOften when returning from long term sickness people are asked to
fill in a medical consent form. Some of these give management
permanent access to medical records and are not time restricted.
ALWAYS CONSULT A REP
You do not have to sign these. And once you have signed them it
gives management carte blanche to get access to all of your medicalrecords.
On top of that, although you are entitled to see what they have
been given, the responsibility falls upon you to find out through
your GP.
