We congratulate our members on their willingness to take a stand for an improved Olympics
settlement. We instruct the General Secretary to seek media coverage of the appalling
offer made by TfL so far, and its comparison to settlements we have achieved in other
companies. We refer this matter to our Southern Sub-Committee for examination and
report.
TfL no.1 branch and London Transport Regional Council to be advised.
