Dear Colleagues,

TRANSPORT FOR LONDON (TFL) PENSION FUND - ANNUAL MEMBERS MEETING 2020

At a time of economic uncertainly due to the current world health crisis it has never been more important that workers continue to protect and where possible improve their terms and conditions.

Part of these members' terms and conditions are pensions and while there are many of our members facing an uncertain future this union is committed to continue protect our members deferred pay.

Further to my previous Circular (IR/339/20, 27th August 2020), this ballot has since concluded and our Service Control members at Osborne House have once again delivered a magnificent - and unanimous - vote to take strike action and action short of a strike.
