Dear Colleagues,
DEFEND JOBS, PENSIONS & AGREEMENTS – LONDON UNDERGROUND
Further to previous correspondence, TfL has now settled its funding agreement with the Department for Transport. This was done without any input or consultation with the Union and as expected, it contains a raft of wholescale attacks on your jobs, pensions, agreements and also potential future pay awards.
Notably, the funding agreement contains and confirms the following attacks:-
As the TfL board meet in Palestra to discuss the proposed funding deal, RMT Regional Organiser Jared Wood joins the protest outside.
Unlike other European capitals the Government is refusing to provide proper funding for London Transport. As a result, our public transport could be on the brink of collapse. There are already cuts to services and staffing on bus and tube.
US Senator Bernie Sanders who is on a visit to the UK will be taking time out to join a RMT rally in solidarity with transport workers and their fight for a decent public transport system.
The Save London Transport Rally will take place on Wednesday 31 August in central London at TUC Headquarters, Congress House at 7.00pm.
Dear colleague,
