Bakerloo Line

Last Saturday, drivers on the Bakerloo line and at the Northern line's Morden depot again took strike action to demand the reinstatement of sacked workmates Eamonn Lynch (RMT health & safety rep) and Arwyn Thomas (longstanding RMT activist) respectively.

Very good ballot result from Bakerloo line drivers to defend workmates Fitz and Joel. The same line's drivers voted against striking to defend Kevin Dobinson last year, so it is good to see the turnaround, especially as unions generally have an annoying tendency to repeat their mistakes rather than...

Management have scrutinised staffing levels at OXO and come to the alarming conclusion that the...

Bakerloo line management have sacked two drivers in separate incidents.

Staff on Oxford Circus group have been standing up together for staffing levels.

Management stopped covering duties on overtime, expecting staff to make do with fewer numbers and work extra hard to compensate. They began to only authorise overtime for dead earlies and dead lates, which could close...
