This is London Underground's policy on facilities for union reps. If you are not getting all that you are entitled to, raise it with your employing manager, and also advise your branch secretary and Stations & Revenue Council reps.

London underground (LUL) provides its employees, selected to be Trade Union Representatives (Reps), with the necessary facilities to enable them to carry out their union roles. This includes communication facilities (notice boards, telephones and electronic facilities etc to enable them to keep union members informed of Branch and Head Office business, such as meetings, elections, member's welfare and general policy) as well as accommodation and related materials.

This document clarifies exactly what facilities LUL's Reps are entitled to and will enable LUL to ensure it follows a fair and consistent approach. For this reason, any proposal to add to this list must first have the approval of the Director of Employee Relations.

Tier 1 and Level 1 Representatives
* Separate office space where possible, if not then access to a quiet area where Reps can have private conversations as part of their role;
* Intranet & Internet facilities (dedicated, or else, shared);
* Access to a Printer (Black & White);
* Access to a fax machine, if available on site;
* Access to a landline Phone;
* A Desk;
* Access to a lockable Filing Cabinet if desk is not lockable;
* Notice Case;
* Access to Photo Copier; (Black and White)
* Access to reference material (this includes LUL's Library in 55 Broadway, the Engineering Library as well as relevant on-line Health and Safety resources.)

Tier 2 and Level 2 Representatives
In addition to the above, Tier / Level 2 Reps are also entitled to:
* A mobile phone each

London Underground does not provide the following:
* RAS Cards
* Laptops, Ipaqs, Blackberrys, USB memory sticks and any other related electronic mass storage devices
* Mobile Phones to Tier / Level 1
* Camera's

Please note the following:
* "Access to" does not mean a dedicated resource, but one which may be used by the Reps along with other employees.
* Should any non-approved facilities already have been provided, then these should be withdrawn when the Rep is replaced.
* Where mobile phones have been issued, it is the responsibility of the Functional LGM to ensure reasonable expenditure and usage.
* Should any requests be received locally or Functionally for facilities not defined above, please refer these requests to the Director of Employee Relations in every case.
