If you are a member of reserve station staff, you get your advance duties, then go on annual leave, then come back from your leave and turn up to work to find out that those duties have been changed, you will know how difficult and frustrating this situation can be.

RMT has obtained the following agreement from LUL management (confirmed at Stations & Revenue Council 30 April 2009) to prevent our members being messed around in this way:

• Local management should, wherever possible, not change the notified advance duties of reserve staff who are on annual leave.
• Local management should not change your duty on the day of your resumption from annual leave unless you have made contact and confirmed this is OK.
• If local management have no choice but to change your duties while you are on annual leave, they must notify you in writing. You are not expected to phone in to find out your duties while you are on annual leave.
