London Underground (LU) has welcomed today’s opportunity for constructive talks with the leaderships of the RMT and TSSA after the unions agreed to meet at the conciliation service ACAS to discuss LU’s staffing plans.
Talks are set to take place this afternoon (Tuesday) at ACAS. LU is calling for the unions’ strike action to be called off, and will once again be reiterating that its staffing changes will be delivered without any impact on the Tube’s high safety standards and with a guarantee of no compulsory redundancies.
In addition, all stations with a ticket office will continue to have one, and all stations will continue to be staffed.
Howard Collins, LU’s Chief Operating Officer, said: ‘We are pleased that the RMT and TSSA leaderships are willing to return to talks to try to resolve this issue.
‘We’ll be going into these discussions positively to try to address any concerns raised and trying to work together to resolve this issue without any further unnecessary disruption to Londoners.
‘London Underground needs to change, and we look forward to being able to explain how we intend to do that with no compulsory redundancies and with no impact on our high safety standards.
‘All of our stations with a ticket office will continue to have one, and we will continue to staff all stations.’
