As you will know a RMT ballot for strike action took place on the Willesden Green Group.

The manager at the centre or RMT's dispute on Willesden Green group of stations is the same manager who was at the centre of a dispute with ASLEF at North Greenwich depot in 2004.

Dear Customer,

The RMT wishes to inform you that its members on the Willesden Green Group have voted to withdraw their labour from 18.49 Wednesday 8th April until 18.48 on Thursday 9th April 2009.

(The Willesden Green Group includes the stations between Dollis Hill and St. John’s Wood).

Following an overwhelmimg yes vote for Industrial action and London Undergrounds refusal to invite the Equality and Human Rights Commission to investigate Managements discriminatory and abusive treatment of our members,a strike has been called as follows:

Congratulations to station staff at Willesden Green who have voted yes for strike action and action short of a strike by a margin of 3 :1 with a turn out in excess of 50%.The dispute centres around a breakdown of industrial relations resulting from management ignoring Discipline and Attendance procedures and bullying our members.

We are balloting our members on the group over a breakdown in industrial relations resulting from local managements refusal to abide by London Undergrounds policies and procedures .
