Circular: strike called as LUL fail to give assurances on jobs, pensions and working conditions

2nd August 2022

DEFENDING JOBS, PENSIONS & AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND - (LUL/14/2)

Further to my previous Circular (IR/135/22), dated 28th June 2022, this Union gave London Underground until today to provide assurances on three key issues of this dispute:

New Tube strike called as Tube bosses 'totally fail to give guarantees'

Strike action on the Tube and Overground to go ahead on 19 August

Transport workers on the London Underground and Overground network will take 24-hour strike action in separate disputes on August 19th.

RMT will strike again unless assurances given on pensions, jobs and agreements

Tube workers will take strike action in an ongoing dispute over pensions and jobs on August 19.

The latest call for action has been prompted by TfL's refusal to share the details of a draft government proposal they received regarding funding of the transport system in the capital, in secret and without any discussion with their recognised trade unions.

TfL have plans to cut 600 jobs and want to rob RMT members of their pension entitlements.

RMT statement on the forthcoming Rail and Tube strikes

In the past few weeks, discussions have been taking place at senior level with Network Rail, Train Operators and London Underground. Despite the best efforts of our negotiators no viable settlements to the disputes have been created. It has to be re-stated that the source of these disputes is the decision by the Tory Government to cut £4bn of funding from our transport systems - £2bn from national rail and £2bn from Transport for London.

As a result of this transport austerity imposed by the Government, the employing companies have taken decisions to:
