1. Because the merging of the three revenue units into one was a prototype for these cuts. Look at the effects this has had: extremely low morale; higher stress levels; more disjointed, unrealistic workloads for management and admin. Imagine how bad it would be if this was spread to the rest of LUL.

Your RMT Reps have received information that shows London Underground (LUL) cutting jobs through the back door. The RMT has called for an emergency meeting with LUL management to explain what they are doing and await their reply to our request.

Central Line West and Hammersmith & City line branches submitted the following resolution to the May 2009 meeting of the Regional Council, where it was passed.

This Council condemns the poor treatment of members of staff who after 2 years are still waiting for Revenue Control Training.

This agreement specifies the arrangements for the staffing of Revenue Control services operated by London Underground Limited and is supplementary to the Company’s agreed principles of employment.

Here are your RMT Revenue Control level one reps. From left to right: Barry Leigh (SSR District line), Paul Schindler (JNP Northern line), Marc Shone (JNP Jubilee line), Jed Smith (JNP Piccadilly line), Colm Mulholland (BCV Central line), Kenny Charles (BCV Bakerloo line).

RMT's Revenue Control reps will be meeting with RMT Stations & Revenue Council reps this Friday (5 December) to discuss two important current issues:

• LUL management's proposal to cut the number of RMT Revenue Control reps by one in order to facilitate recognising one RMT rep in the Special Requirements Team; and
• Cross-line working

All revenue control RMT members are welcome to attend. RMT Revenue Control industrial relations reps are release from duty with pay for the day in order to attend.

After the recent company letter announcing the axing of multiple Revenue Managers jobs Revenue Control Inspectors ( RCI's) are quite concerned. Three Centurian Managers (BCV,JNP,SSR) were merged into one Revenue Control Manager for the entire London Underground. Sixteen Duty Revenue Control Managers (DRCM's) are currently been reduced to nine to cover the whole network.The admin staff are being reduced to just three. Local staff reps requested Functional Council to obtain some answers.
