OVERTIME AND REST DAY WORKING BAN CALLED

A resolution has been received from your RMT Jubilee South Branch, regarding the imposition of new rosters. The Company has taken no notice of your Reps advice that these rosters are unworkable, and members wish to fight back against the detrimental effect these cuts will have, including on your work/life balance.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR VOTE -VOTE 'YES' FOR STRIKE ACTION & 'YES' FOR ACTION SHORT OF A STRIKE

Dear Colleagues,

REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND

Further to my letter of 26th January, please look out for ballot papers which will be arriving for the above dispute. It is vital that we achieve the highest possible turnout and the highest possible vote saying YES for action to demand that LUL scraps any plans to remove detrainment staff.

Dear colleague,

RMT wins free travel for 5,800 TfL cleaners 

After years of campaigning, RMT has won free travel facilities for 5,800 cleaners sub-contracted by Transport for London.

Last weekend, at an RMT fringe during London Labour conference, I reiterated our union's case for the Mayor to do more for TfL's outsourced cleaners, including extending the free travel benefit, improving other employment conditions and ending the scourge of outsourcing by bringing them into direct employment.

26th January 2023

Dear Colleagues,

REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND

Your Union is concerned by reports that London Underground intends to remove detrainment staff from the Bakerloo, District, Central, Hammersmith & City and Jubilee Lines, and impose the 'flash and dash' procedure for detrainments. This is a serious attack on station staffing levels which threatens passenger safety, as well as that of you and your colleagues.

TFL PENSION FUND - INDEPENDENT REVIEW - UPDATE

I can advise you that on 20th January, TfL announced that the final proposal from the pension review would now be delayed from 31st January to 28th February 2023.

It is clear that the tenacious action taken so far in defence of our pension, along with jobs and agreements, has shaken TfL, the Mayor and the Government. Proposals to attack our pension were first put back from March 2022 to January 2023 and now to 28th February 2023.
