I attended an Ad Hoc Pan Company Meeting accompanied by LU representatives on the above matter. This meeting was helpful and constructive.
Dear colleague
Meeting with TfL to discuss Health & Safety measures re Covid-19 - 8th July 2021
Your lead officer and safety reps will be meeting TfL at a safety forum on 8th July.
RMT will insist that all measures to address the COVID pandemic must remain in place unless there is agreement with us to do otherwise. This includes the continued requirement to wear face-coverings on TfL services, social distancing requirements and ventilation standards.
Dear colleague,
TFL: No cuts, no austerity - unity is strength
This morning, your Regional Organiser and London Underground reps met with LU management to discuss the company's response to the government's funding settlement with TfL. At the meeting, London Underground managers invited the unions to work with them on implementing cuts.
RMT was absolutely clear in response. We told them that there was no question of this union colluding in implementing cuts in jobs, pay or terms and conditions.
