Updates: Drivers, Metronet, TubeLines

News from other grades

The key issues that RMT is currently dealing with for Tube drivers are: Instructor operator training, role and responsibilities; new flexible working application policy; numbers of reps for each union in each depot. Unions and management have agreed a new transfer policy.

RMT called a 48-hour strike on Metronet over pensions, passes and privatisation. Since then ‘substantial progress’ has been made with Metronet/TfL suddenly discovering that they can offer guarantees to workers about pensions and passes after all!

TubeLines has still not resolved issues about pay from two years ago, forcing RMT to ballot its TubeLines members for strikes. The result will be known on 23 April.
