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.

DEFENDING JOBS, PENSIONS & AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND - (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/135/22), dated 28th June 2022, this Union gave London Underground until today to provide assurances on three key issues of this dispute:

New Tube strike called as Tube bosses 'totally fail to give guarantees'

Strike action on the Tube and Overground to go ahead on 19 August

Transport workers on the London Underground and Overground network will take 24-hour strike action in separate disputes on August 19th.

Tube workers have been locked in a dispute over attacks to pensions and jobs for over 6 months while Overground workers employed by Arriva Rail London will strike over pay.

RMT will strike again unless assurances given on pensions, jobs and agreements

Submitted by Admin on 26 July, 2022 - 19:36

Tube workers will take strike action in an ongoing dispute over pensions and jobs on August 19.

The latest call for action has been prompted by TfL's refusal to share the details of a draft government proposal they received regarding funding of the transport system in the capital, in secret and without any discussion with their recognised trade unions.
