The TUC/BERR Vulnerable Workers Project and the Federation of Poles in Great Britain Present:
‘A Better Deal for Polish Workers’
POSK Centre, 238-246 King Street, London W6 0RF
All trade unions, and unionlearn branches, in the Southern and Eastern Region of the TUC as well as statutory and voluntary sector providers have been invited to attend and run a stall.
"But other workers are losing their jobs."
Yes, and those workers could be our partners, sons, daughters or other dependants. If they lose their jobs, they will rely on our incomes more than ever.
Workers within TfL face job losses too. If we accept an inadequate pay deal, this will not protect our jobs: rather it will encourage management to attack them.
"But LUL/TfL has no money."
Somers Town Community Centre, 150 Ossulston Street, NW1 1EE (nearest stations: Euston and King's Cross St. Pancras)
Please arrive early as the meeting will start on time.

Management will try to convince us that we should accept a low pay rise because of the economic crisis. In truth, the crisis makes it even more important that we get a decent rise. Here's why ...
1. We did not cause the economic crisis, so we should not have to pay for it. We and other workers create the wealth in society. If bankers gamble some of that wealth away, that is not our fault.
2. Our bills have gone up and are due to go up even more.
It was with shock and anger that we heard the news that Arnos Grove train operator, Zak Khan, had been summarily dismissed (sacked with no notice) at a Company Disciplinary Interview (CDI) on 16th January. Zak had been referred to the CDI for an aggravated SPAD which took place on 24th October last year. Arnos Grove News has seen the case against Zak and believes that his summary dismissal is grossly unfair.
