RMT's General Grades Committee decision:
We welcome the resolution from our London Transport Regional Council on this matter, and reaffirm our determination to preserve the right of TfL and London Underground employees to both a staff pass and a nominee pass. We also reaffirm that the fact that an employee may nominate a person who lives at the same address as them for a nominee pass, regardless of their personal relationship with them, is progressive and egalitarian, and we will defend it.
We strongly object to suggestions that nominee passes are an inappropriate use of public money, as they form part of the reward earned by our hardworking members. They are not a ‘perk’ but a right.
We instruct the General Secretary to:
- issue press statements in defence of staff and nominee passes in the event of any further public attacks on them
- write to all members of the GLA and TfL Board outlining this union’s policy on this matter
- place this matter back in front of us in the event of any further developments
We seek further extensions and equalisation of our members’ travel facilities, as included in our pay claim to London Underground.
Relevant branches and Regional Councils to be advised.
