Removal of detrainment staff ballot

26th January 2023

Dear Colleagues,

REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND

Your Union is concerned by reports that London Underground intends to remove detrainment staff from the Bakerloo, District, Central, Hammersmith & City and Jubilee Lines, and impose the 'flash and dash' procedure for detrainments. This is a serious attack on station staffing levels which threatens passenger safety, as well as that of you and your colleagues.

Government plans to attack TfL pensions delayed following RMT action

TFL PENSION FUND - INDEPENDENT REVIEW - UPDATE

I can advise you that on 20th January, TfL announced that the final proposal from the pension review would now be delayed from 31st January to 28th February 2023.

It is clear that the tenacious action taken so far in defence of our pension, along with jobs and agreements, has shaken TfL, the Mayor and the Government. Proposals to attack our pension were first put back from March 2022 to January 2023 and now to 28th February 2023.

District Centre and Bakerloo South cover group action announced

Dear Colleagues,

DEFEND JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/288/22, 23rd December 2022), our Piccadilly & District West Branch and our Bakerloo Line Branch submitted resolutions regarding the imminent imposition of job cuts and worse rosters on Station Areas. Both Branches requested an overtime ban to fight back against the detrimental effect these cuts will have on members' work/life balance.
