Defend safety and staffing on London's Tube: oppose casualisation and ticket office closures

RMT is in dispute with London Underground over a raft of staff and safety issues that amount to an attack on safety standards and the casualisation of safety critical work 

Some 7,500 Tube workers - members of RMT and TSSA - are to be balloted over the issue.

Both unions have told LUL that ticket-office closures, de-staffing, lone working, introduction of 'mobile supervisors', use of agency and security staff and other disputed policies amount to an unacceptable attack on safety standards and the casualisation of safety-critical work

LUL has a hit-list of 130 stations where changes to hours are planned, on top of 39 ticket offices earmarked for complete closure, 32 scheduled to lose some or all weekend opening, 16 to lose afternoon peak services and 13 facing other major hours reductions.
