Tube Lines Pensions Dispute Continues

We note the report from our lead officer and the views of our representatives that there is strong support to take action in pursuit of this dispute following the Olympics. In line with these views, we intend to call targeted, serious, sustained, effective and strategically-planned action, to include both strikes and action short of strike.

We instruct the General Secretary to ensure that officers and representatives visit all Tube Lines workplaces to explain our strategy and discuss locally what will work best in each area. A plan is to be drawn up and placed in front of us in good time for its implementation.

We remain available for talks, and remind Tube Lines and its owner, TfL, that it can avoid this industrial action by meeting our members’ just demand for equal pensions and passes.

London Transport Regional Council, branches and Tube Lines representatives to be advised.
