Is London Underground Discriminating Against Part-Time Staff?

Submitted by janine on Tue, 25/01/2011 - 00:00

RMT General Grades Committee decision:

That we note that London Underground has issued notices displacing full-time staff only within the group of stations in which they currently work, but has issued notices displacing part-time staff to locations beyond their current group of stations, in some cases some distance away. It also intends to alter the working hours of some part-time staff in a way that is detrimental to them. The company has also failed to adequately consider part-time workers in its Equality Impact Assessment. We believe that London Underground may be acting in breach of the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations.

Three Changes to the Framework Agreement

Submitted by janine on Mon, 29/12/2008 - 16:31

Update (March 2011): The rights itemised below were due to be incorporated into a new version of the Framework Agreement. However, LU management tried to introduce new working conditions which would have made many staff's working lives much worse, and we were therefore unable to proceed with the revision of the Framework Agreement. The rights listed here still stand - they are free-standing agreements which apply even though are not yet incorporated into the Frameowrk Agreement. RMT will try to get them incorporated into the Framework Agreement in the future.

=====

Unions and management have agreed the following three changes to the Framework Agreement for station staff. No doubt LUL will get round to publishing the new version of the Framework Agreement at some point, but in the meantime please bear in the mind that these rules now apply.

All three reflect improvements in station and revenue staff's rights won by RMT over the last year or so.

Update: Weekend Part-timers' Annual Leave

Submitted by janine on Fri, 19/09/2008 - 14:48

You may be aware that earlier this year, RMT won for weekend part-timers the right to take your annual leave as a full weekend rather than as the Sunday of one weekend followed by the Saturday of the next.

Weekend Part-timers’ Annual Leave

Submitted by janine on Mon, 21/04/2008 - 23:00

If you work weekends, a week’s annual leave falls on the Sunday of one weekend and the Saturday of the next: a right pain! RMT demanded that this be changed so that one week’s annual leave is one whole weekend. Management agreed.

One part-time Station Supervisor told RMT Platform, “That is great, common sense at last! It is so annoying not being able to appreciate annual leave fully when you get two halves of a weekend.”
