Dear Colleagues,
DEFEND JOBS, PENSIONS & AGREEMENTS – LONDON UNDERGROUND
Further to previous correspondence, TfL has now settled its funding agreement with the Department for Transport. This was done without any input or consultation with the Union and as expected, it contains a raft of wholescale attacks on your jobs, pensions, agreements and also potential future pay awards.
Notably, the funding agreement contains and confirms the following attacks:-

Dear colleague
Imposition of Night Tube Duties, Train Operators - London Underground
I am pleased to report that, following over 20 sessions at ACAS and with London Underground management having previously shown no sign of shifting, progress has now been made on the Night Tube dispute. As you will know, this dispute began after management ripped up agreements that Night Tube duties would not be imposed on members and that the service would be run on a voluntary basis.
