We note the correspondence from London Underground Ltd advising the launch of a new, annual, TfL-wide employee engagement survey called Viewpoint. We note that the results of the first of these is due in April 2013, and instruct the General Secretary to write to London Underground Ltd and TfL seeking their confirmation that no changes to our members’ conditions of employment that are not agreed with this union will be announced or imposed before the results are available.

As you will be aware the dispute with Tube Lines management regarding pension and travel equality will be reaching a significant stage over the Christmas period as a result of possible further industrial action. It is therefore important that members are fully aware of the issues involved so that they can make an informed decision when supporting this action.

We note the resolution from our London Transport Regional Council, and support its view that members should be entitled to representation at Occupational Health appointments.

We instruct the General Secretary to ensure that this matter is raised with the employer(s) in line with this resolution, and to obtain a report as to whether our members in other companies have such rights.

London Transport Regional Council and branches to be advised.

We note the correspondence from Transport for London, and that for the most part, arrangements are the same as in previous year. However, following consultation with our representatives, we further note that TfL intends to change its practice regarding staff who volunteer to work additional duties assisting the public on New Year’s Eve, to the detriment of our members, compelling them to take a day’s leave when they previously did not have to.

We therefore instruct the General Secretary to take this up with the employer as a matter of urgency.

Dear Colleagues,

Save London Transport Museum!

Transport for London has cut its grant to the Museum by 25%, which amounts to £1.5million a year. On top of that, vital Arts Council funding has dried up, shelving a number of important community outreach and education posts.

TSSA have launched a petition which I encourage you to sign, and to bring to the attention of members.
