TO ALL RMT MEMBERS AT LONDON UNDERGROUND/TRANSPORT FOR LONDON

MAKE SURE YOU RETURN YOUR BALLOT PAPER
VOTE ‘YES’ TO BOTH QUESTIONS

Dear Colleagues,

DEFENDING JOBS, PENSIONS & AGREEMENTS
LONDON UNDERGROUND / TRANSPORT FOR LONDON

RMT National Executive Council member Jared Wood reminds members of the importance to return ballot papers in our dispute to defend jobs, pensions and working conditions.

Jared says "Get your ballot paper back. Once we've done that the boot will be on the other foot. We will have a strike mandate and then TfL, the mayor and our managers will have to listen to us"

Your TFL Pension is fully funded, solvent and healthy.

There is no case for change.

Brendan Barber, chair of the ongoing ‘Independent Review’ claims the purpose of the review is to move TFL’s pension arrangements into a ‘financially sustainable position’.

Does this mean the fund is in trouble?

No. Far from it.

You need to vote YES in the ballot to defend your pension. We can't let the Government and TfL leave you in poverty when you retire.

I refer to my previous email of 10th November 2021, you will now be aware that the RMT have formally informed TfL management that we are now in dispute with them over jobs, pensions and working conditions and as a result over 10,000 of our members across LUL and TfL are currently being balloted for industrial action.
