Dear Colleagues
HAPPY NEW FARES RISE PROTESTS
Thank you to everyone who has helped organise these important protests.
'Happy new year' it isn't as passengers face price hikes and guards and other members working in the rail industry suffer unprecedented attacks from the Government and employers - ranging from the spread of driver only operation, cuts to infrastructure work, ticket office closures and de-staffing of stations.

RMT Tube cleaners demonstrated outside City Hall this to protest against poor pay and conditions as a result of outsourcing.
Due to a change of dates for the Tottenham Hotspur v West Ham fixture at Wembley Stadium, the function room at The Torch Pub is no longer available on Wednesday 25th October, so the meeting will now be held on TUESDAY 24TH OCTOBER at 16:00 instead.
Apologies for this 2nd change in date, but as you can appreciate this was completely out of our hands.
Nominations for Functional Positions will take place at this branch meeting so please make every effort to attend.
Just a reminder that the Neasden Branch will be holding an organising event tomorrow morning (20th September) before the branch meeting. The day will commence at Harrow on the Hill at 11.00am, then move on to other locations in order to boost the union profile and to recruit new members. Please make every effort to attend.
