BREAKING: Tube drivers have voted for further strikes later this month over pensions and working conditions.
Finn Brennan, ASLEF’s full-time organiser on London Underground, explained: ‘We take action only when needed.
‘Unfortunately, the last few weeks have shown that London Underground management are determined to try to push through detrimental changes – despite trade union opposition – if they think they can get away with it. ‘They have already announced that they intend to start training managers in August on a new attendance procedure, and will implement it from January, ignoring the current agreed procedure.
‘This new procedure would mean no right to representation or appeal at stage one of the disciplinary process and the length of all warnings would be doubled from 26 to 52 weeks. ‘All sickness longer than one week would be regarded as “long term” meaning that a manager can send a driver to redeployment without any further meeting.‘After just six weeks in deployment a driver can be, as they put it, “terminated”.
