DISMISSAL, G. NJAKA – LONDON UNDERGROUND

Our Ref: LUL/4/1

 

19^th March 2024

 

Dear RMT Member,

 

DISMISSAL, G. NJAKA – LONDON UNDERGROUND

 

BALLOT PAPERS HAVE BEEN DESPATCHED

 

Your ballot paper for the dispute over the dismissal of your colleague Gerald Njaka will be posted to your home address today. I am urging you and your colleagues to vote ‘YES’ for strike action and ‘YES’ for action short of a strike and demonstrate that you are willing to defend yourselves and your colleagues from unfair dismissal, as well as to demand that LUL immediately reinstates Brother Njaka.

 

The ballot closes after first post on Tuesday 9^th April 2024.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE ON BALLOT THRESHOLDS

 

Since the Trade Union Act 2016, where the government made the anti-trade union laws even more restrictive, all ballots have to reach two important thresholds in order for them to be valid. 

 

• At least 50% of all eligible members must vote 
• At least 40% of all those eligible to vote must vote Yes. 

 

As a result of these draconian restrictions every single vote counts. A simple majority is no longer enough so you cannot rely on other colleagues to get the vote over the line. Therefore, I urge you to complete and return your voting paper as soon as you receive it

 

If you have not received your voting paper by Tuesday 26^th March 2024, please email info@rmt.org.uk or call the freephone helpline on 0800 376 3706 to request a replacement. 

 

 

VOTE ‘YES’ FOR STRIKE ACTION

VOTE ‘YES’ FOR INDUSTRIAL ACTION SHORT OF STRIKE 

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Lynch

General Secretary
