It seems that both ASLEF and RMT are heading for dispute at Hammersmith depot, so we could see a rare but welcome show of unity.
The cause? New duty sheets that get rid of inside turns and leave drivers working more extreme turns and more weekends.
It's exactly the sort of bread-and-butter issue...
Edgware Road management want to create three new Station Supervisor jobs. Usually, new jobs would be good news. But in this case, it may not be.
The problem is that these Supervisors will spend all day on the platform, having a go at drivers! And there was us thinking that this is a DMT's job. It...
When management at King's Cross came up with a new roster, it was put to the staff, who found a few problems with it. So the local union reps started to go through the official channels to get the problems resolved at a higher level. But this has not happened.
Management have now announced that...
In LUL's latest effort to drive its own customers away, company management called Cubic to the Pentonville Road side of King's Cross station today to disable the ticket-issuing facility on the Queue Busting Machine (QBM).
You see, if your glossy adverts and seductive slogans don't persuade...
Readers will recall that LUL management got themselves in a right fluster about seven Kings Cross SAMFs who walked out of the ticket office for 40 minutes in protest at the SRT being used to cover a rostered duty.

LUL is pursuing its disciplinary action against the 'Kings Cross 7', SAMFs who quite rightly walked out of the ticket office in protest against the deployment of an SRT Supervisor to cover a duty, in breach of the Framework Agreement.
Management are obviously quite appalled by the very idea...
Kings Cross management wanted to bring in a new roster for CSAs, but staff objected because of various issues including the lack of decent rest periods. So management went back to the drawing board, and have come back with a new roster with so few changes that you can barely notice them! And what...
Happily - or perhaps luckily - for LUL, Wood Lane station opened last Sunday without much of a hitch. This is indeed good fortune on the company's part, as the station is woefully understaffed.
They don't even cover the Supervisors' meal breaks, and leave a CSA working alone at certain times of the...
Word reaches Tubeworker that the King's Cross staff who walked out to prevent abuse of the SRT are to face disciplinary action. So it's not a disciplinary offence for management to break the agreements that they themselves signed, but it is a crime to defend those agreements?!
You get the...
Yesterday morning, ticket office staff at Kings Cross walked out when management once again broke their own rules by using a member of the Special Requirements Team (SRT) to cover a duty. The whole point of the SRT is that it provides additional staff tomeet special requirements; it must not cover...
