Following the publication of the OSP rosters, consultation has taken place with members in the limited amount of release time granted by LUL, and the following comments are made in regards to management’s proposals:

Bermondsey

Whilst management stated that both Station Supervisors and Control Room staff would be unaffected by the OSP proposals, it is clear this is not the case.

Overtime and rest day working …

The matter of overtime and rest day working was raised with the new GSM, who insisted that there was not a ‘blanket’ overtime ban, but merely that ‘overtime’ was being more closely managed. However, the outcome of this ‘closely managed overtime’ has been evident for all to see... Ticket offices closed, gate lines unstaffed, meal relief duties un-covered and staff being told to take DMR’s, and all this why we are being told to provide ‘A world class service’...

Attached is a leaflet for use on the five stations where LUL is due to run a trial of the £5 minimum Oyster top-up. RMT hopes that management will respond to our representations and call off the ill-prepared trial of this disastrous, unfair, discriminatory, job-threatening policy.
