Last year, RMT argued successfully that there should be no maximum limit on the number of locations that staff can nominate for transfer or promotion. Despite agreeing to this, LUL has been painfully slow in implementing it. However, SAP has now accepted this change, and management have finally announced a timetable, as follows:

16 March – advert in Traffic Circular advising staff that they can now nominate as many locations as they like

3 April – deadline for staff to make new nominations

All new nominations will have a common date of 3 April – existing nominations will keep their existing date

There will then be a freeze on all movements until 1 May to allow the new system to come into force.
