As union campaign forces shelving of plans to axe BTP tube sexual offences unit RMT demands proposals be scrapped completely.
After a union-led campaign to stop the axing of the specialist policing unit which investigates sexual offences on the Tube led to the plans being shelved at the weekend, main tube union RMT today demanded that they be scrapped entirely with more staff hired to stop the surge of sexual assaults on London’s transport services.

RATES OF PAY & CONDITIONS OF SERVICE 2015 – LONDON UNDERGROUND
Following this Union’s official acceptance on 1st March of the 4-year pay offer for our LUL members, I would be grateful if you could advise me when the applicable increase and backdated monies will be paid to my members?
The offer included the assurance that payment of basic salary to all eligible staff, backdated to 1 April 2015, will be paid through the first available payroll following acceptance of this offer but I have been informed that at the time of writing, it has not yet been implemented.
Dear Colleague,
TO ALL TFL PENSION FUND MEMBERS - BEWARE OF PENSION RIP OFFS
I have been contacted by our representatives across LUL/TfL who have raised with the RMT their concerns that financial service (insurance) companies are offering to “release” TfL Pension Fund members' pensions in return for a lump sum payment. I have been passed letters from a certain company who are offering a lump sum payment of 25% of the members' total TfL Pension Fund value with the remaining amount being reinvested.
