New TfL Strike Next Friday Replaces This Friday's Action

We note the correspondence from TfL and the legal advice on file.

We instruct the General Secretary to cancel the strike action on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 July, and instead instruct all our members covered by this dispute to take strike action as follows: not to book on for any duty starting on or after 07:00 on Friday 3 August, returning to duties starting on or after 07:00 on Saturday 4 August.

Further, we declare this union to be in dispute with Transport for London over its failure to offer a pay rise to our members, despite this rise being due to be paid nearly four months ago, and instruct the General Secretary to obtain a report and place the matter RATES OF PAY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2012 – TRANSPORT FOR LONDON (TFL/0001) in front of the General Grades Committee.

London Transport Regional Council and TfL no.1 branch to be advised.
