<h2>2022 A/L Leave sheets have been posted</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
2022 Block A/L Sheets have been posted on the notice board leading to the
|
||||||
|
LDC office and have been emailed out.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
As usual, we won't accept swaps until 00:00 on 01/11/2021. This is to
|
||||||
|
ensure everyone has a chance to see the new leave sheets before swaps begin.
|
||||||

Thanks, your LDC

<h2>The Linking process has begun for December 2021 Links</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Today, we began the linking process. We first need to review all new
|
||||||
|
diagrams and request approval of any changes we would like to make.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
This year, we had to agree Cover turns locally which took a little longer
|
||||||
|
than expected. We also have minor concerns around the suitability of
|
||||||
|
diagrams for some flexible workers.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
There are also a couple of diagrams that we would like to make adjustments
|
||||||
|
to. These adjustments first need to be approved by the Senior Guards'
|
||||||
|
Manager before being passed to the Roster Managers for final approval.
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
While we won't send out diagrams, as they are currently drafts and are
|
||||||
|
subject to change, we do have office copies - as well as a summary - which
|
||||||
|
you can look at if you would like. Just give one of us a call first to make
|
||||||
|
sure we are in the office when you would like to pop up.
|
||||||
|

are we striking?</h2>
|

|
<p class="western">RMT, along with TSSA and ASLEF have been seeking
|
||||||
|
agreements that our terms and conditions will note be changed
|
||||||
|
detrimentally, to ensure catering on trains doesn’t continue to be
|
||||||
|
removed, to ensure ticket offices aren’t cut, to ensure thousands
|
||||||
|
of Network Rail engineering colleagues aren’t sacked and replaced
|
||||||
|
with lower skilled agency workers that will impact the overall safety
|
||||||
|
of rail operations, and to ensure guards remain on trains where they
|
||||||
|
do so currently. While securing a pay rise is part of the action
|
||||||
|
being taken, it is far from the only reason that the action is being
|
||||||
|
taken.</p>

|

<p class="western"><b><font size="2" style="font-size: 10pt">Question
|
||||||
|
continued:</font><br/>
|
||||||
|
As we lack any kind of competency, showing up
|
||||||
|
is of no benefit to the company. I don't want to cross a picket line,
|
||||||
|
but have been advised by a seemingly knowledgeable RMT member that we
|
||||||
|
wouldn't be expected to strike as we currently don't really count as
|
||||||
|
workers (that is my clumsy wording, not theirs).</b></p>
|
||||||
|
<p class="western">If you are an RMT member, you were included in the
|
||||||
|
ballot and the industrial action. Ultimately the decision whether to
|
||||||
|
strike or not lies with you. If you do decide not to strike you
|
||||||
|
should discuss with your manager what you are expected to do, you may
|
||||||
|
– for example – be asked to assist with customer service.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p class="western">It is a difficult question that I cannot give a
|
||||||
|
simple, easy answer to as there will be some colleagues that would
|
||||||
|
expect you to join with the strike and others that wouldn’t. I
|
||||||
|
recommend discussing the issue with others in the same position, feel
|
||||||
|
free to discuss in confidence with any RMT rep as well, before making
|
||||||
|
your decision. Sorry that I can’t give a more specific answer to
|
||||||
|
the question and I appreciate that is doesn’t clear anything up for
|
||||||
|
you.</p>

<h3>Update: Further Action Called</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>Further strike days will be taken by RMT members on:
|
||||||
|
<br>27/07/2022
|
||||||
|
<br>18/08/2022
|
||||||
|
<br>20/08/2022
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>For TOC members, the strikes run from 00:00 to 23:59 on those days, do not book
|
||||||
|
on for any duty between these times. If you have booked on before 00:00 you should
|
||||||
|
continue to work the end of your duty.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>It is important the we keep the same momentum of the previous strike days in June,
|
||||||
|
with other industries announcing strikes it is expected that there will continue
|
||||||
|
to be a good level of support from the public.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>ASLEF have also announced a strike on 30/07/2022. You can show solidarity and support
|
||||||
|
their picket line. We did have ASLEF members missing work to support our pickets.

<h3>Update: Tuesday 21/06/2022</h3>
|
||||||
|
<p>Join your colleagues on the picket line from 0600-1800 on
|
||||||
|
Thursday 23/06 and Saturday 25/06.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>There was a great atmosphere on the picket line today with supporters
|
||||||
|
from several other Unions coming to show solidarity including UNITE, UNISON and
|
||||||
|
NEU (National Education Union). The RMT has also had messages of support from
|
||||||
|
the Firefighters Union and NHS unions among others.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The Bristol Picket Line has already featured in Bristol Live, Bristol Post,
|
||||||
|
The Mirror, ITV News, and BBC News.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>We had huge support from the public
|
||||||
|
and from local businesses who brought us food and drinks throughout the day.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Other industries are also balloting to strike and we have the support of those
|
||||||
|
Unions and we will support them</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>There will be further updates after Thursdays picket</p>
