Gerry Duffy's recent letter to Bob Crow about uniform cleaning token shows that there is a great divide between what management think they know and what it actually the case.

Got sent an email last night by one of our DSM's and wondered how many more people had missed an important line in the following.

T&R Update 46

From Sunday 02 January 2011, the refundable deposit on all new Oyster cards will increase from £3.00 to £5.00.

Just wanted to wish everyone luck today/tomorrow on the picket lines.
Hope all goes well and we cripple them yet again.

Hi all

Just a quick one to let you know of something kind of worrying that has started to happen.

The other day the Early turn SS didnt show up at Cannon St so the station was closed low and behold someone must of realised that its Hendys home station and quickly hunted around for someone to man the station. At approx 06:30 the early turn CSA was sent from East Ham to cover Cannon St.

Issue 9 of Easthammer just a simple 4 page duplex this time including a brief rundown of the picket lines. Brief advice whilst babysitting and a not so subtle dig at those doing overtime. Plus photos from the picket line as a middle page with messages of support..

This time with the attachment

Just a quick newsletter putting out strike dates etc that have been released.

Can anyone let me know if the strike starting at 21:00 hours is a tools down all out situation or work to end of shift just so I can clarify this with a few people.

Right Issue 8 (Yeah I know I forgot to upload a few dont blame me I was born stupid)

Obviously about the job cuts etc etc blah blah with a few other random Rants

Right those that have seen me in the last few weeks would of heard me mumblng about starting a podcast. Well in all reality the first episode has been around since just after the election but I have been waiting for Itunes to give me the feed ID: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/easthammer/id374217664

As this photo shows, London Underground's preparations for its job cuts are already hitting the service to customers. And this is at the station adjacent to the company's headquarters, St. James' Park!

Easthammer 6 is now out a totally different format because I was bored and decided to make it into a 4 page booklet when printed. I would still like input from other Reps in the Branch as I only know whats going on at my group. This is now an 8 page version although it may go back to four for other editions but I thought I would include a Centre fold poster (No not that kind)

Issue 5 Of the Easthammer Newsletter yes I know I only just sent out Issue 4 but I have a lot on my mind

Regards

Gary

On April 11th in association with the East Ham Branch a meeting is being held at the Barking Theater at 18:30. I urge all reps and Activists to come and show your support for this cause.

Bob Crow will be speaking on this issue at the meeting.

New Issue of Easthammer Uploaded things have been relatively quiet down this neck of the woods then along comes an announcement and I have enough to fill two sides.
