The RMT's "Covid-19 Charter" is a useful document, collating the main demands for additional safety measures and policies the union has been pressing for across LU throughout the pandemic.
We need to be prepared to take action around it. That means using the charter like a checklist, ticking off the measures that have been won in your workplace, and seeing which ones we need more pressure on it. If there are more crosses than ticks, we need to make dynamic assessments about whether it's safe for us to continue working.
A refusal of unsafe work needs to be organised collectively, rather than on an individual basis, but with passenger levels picking up and the threat of a second wave of Covid-19 very real, our bosses needed to know we're serious about insisting the demands in the charter are implemented.
