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

Further to my previous Circular IR/82/22, 29th March 2022, a meeting of Reps from all LUL functions took place where members' anger at LUL's attempts to impose massive cuts by undermining pensions, jobs and conditions was clearly expressed.

PAPERS OUT TODAY - VOTE 'YES' TO BOTH QUESTIONS & RETURN YOUR BALLOT PAPER

DEFEND JOBS, PENSIONS AND AGREEMENTS - LONDON UNDERGROUND

You will have seen a bulletin from Andy Lord today asking you not to vote in this re-ballot.

Tube union RMT has criticised TfL for threatening 600 job losses on the network.

General Secretary Mick Lynch said:"TfL is trying to bulldoze through 600 job losses on London Underground and our members are not prepared to accept that.

"Station staff play a crucial role in serving the travelling public and were heroes during the 7/7 terrorist attacks.

Join our demo: fight the job cuts

On the day that the Elizabeth Line opens to the public, join our demo on the corner of New Oxford St and Charing Cross Road.

On Tuesday, the Elizabeth line finally opens and the world will be told how great transport in London is. But thousands of jobs (600 on tube stations alone) are under threat from Tory cuts to transport funding in London.

A pensions grab is underway and working agreements are being torn up. Fewer staff, knackered staff, poorer service; this is ‘managed decline’ the Mayor speaks of.
