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.

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.

Dear Colleagues,

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

Further to my my previous Circular (IR/166/22), dated 10th August 2022, the Regional Organiser has met with your representatives to discuss the funding agreement recently made between the Department for Transport and TfL.

31st August 2022

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.
