Framework Agreement Version 22A Re-instated
Submitted by John on Fri, 10/06/2011 - 13:11As you are aware management attempted to impose Version 24 of the Stations Framework Agreement even though it had not been fully agreed or ratified by the RMT
At the Stations Functional Council meeting on Wednesday 8th June managenment agreed to withdraw version 24 and re-instate version 22A of the Framework Agreement.
Confirmed: Version 22a is the Stations Framework Agreement
Submitted by janine on Wed, 30/03/2011 - 12:56RMT General Grades Committee decision
That we note and endorse the report from our Regional Organiser.
We welcome the fact that London Underground has finally accepted that Version 22a of the Stations Framework Agreement is the agreed Framework which applies to station staff and that its Version 24 has not been agreed and does not apply. We particularly welcome the fact that management's attempt to worsen our members' working conditions - including requiring staff to work away from their rostered station in non-urgent situations, and allowing management to impose roster changes - have not succeeded.
We remain vigilant for further attempts by LU to impose these or similar attacks, and instruct our functional council representatives to oppose any such moves and alert the Regional Organiser.

Submitted by janine on Tue, 22/03/2011 - 18:00RMT General Grades Committee decision about London Underground Machinery of Negotiation and Consutlation:

LU Management Attempt to Impose New Framework Agreement
Submitted by admin on Thu, 29/07/2010 - 10:51RMT's Regional Organiser has sent the following letter to London Underground ...
RMT stations and revenue reps have brought to my attention a matter of great concern. At today’s Stations & Revenue Control Council meeting, management insisted that they would ‘work to’ (ie. impose) version 24 of the Stations Framework Agreement. However, this document is a still a draft, has outstanding areas of disagreement, and has been neither agreed by the Stations & Revenue Council nor ratified by the Company Council.
Our reps believe that in certain respects, it will significantly worsen the working conditions of staff, and are not prepared to agree it until these matters are addressed. While we have indicated that some parts of the document will be acceptable to us, others are not, and therefore the document as a whole is not acceptable, and - I reiterate - we have not agreed it.
Stations Framework
Submitted by Malcolm Taylor on Mon, 31/05/2010 - 11:04Management have posted a copy of the Framework agreement on the intranet stating that this has been agreed by your reps. It is true that the majority of the document is close to being agreed but it is by no means a finished article and the meetings continue to try and get to a point where by we are in a position to ratify this agreement.

Still under negotiation New Stations Framework Agreement not yet fully agreed but nearly there!
Submitted by Malcolm Taylor on Fri, 09/04/2010 - 14:15The new framework of agreement as shown below is currently still under negotiation and not yet agreed due to two sticking points on the defintion of 'business area' ( Schedule 2, section 2.3) and the interpretation of how reserve staff duties can be varied (Schedule 2, section 4).
New Ticket Office Procedures Handbooks - We need your feedback
Submitted by John on Fri, 19/06/2009 - 13:45We have been negotiating with LUL on the new New Ticket Office Procedures Handbooks for over a year now and they have been introduced without due consideration to our comments and concerns.We have real fears that the original TOPH is being watered down to make it easier to reduce ticket office hours,close ticket offices and get rid of SAMF and SS jobs.
