Executive Decision On CSS Bonus Payments To Members Transferred To TFL Under 'Project Horizon'

From General Secretary Bob Crow

Branches are advised that correspondence has been received concerning TFL’s failure to pay the CSS (Customer Satisfaction Survey) bonus to staff that had transferred from LUL to TfL under Project Horizon. This matter has now been considered by the General Grades Committee which has made the following decision:-

“We note the circular issued by TfL management to staff, advising that it has reached agreement with the TSSA regarding the transfer of non-operational employees from LUL in 2011. We have two significant concerns about this.

Firstly, we are concerned that TfL appears to have concluded an agreement with just one trade union. We instruct the General Secretary to obtain a report on how and why this happened.

Secondly, we are concerned that the one-off payment agreed may not adequately compensate for rights and benefits lost as a result of the transfer, and in any case, we do not support the selling of rights or benefits for a one-off payment. We instruct the General Secretary to obtain a report on the detail of this agreement and the issues which it claims to resolve.

We further instruct the General Secretary to explain whether and how our decision of 23 September 2011 on PROPOSED TRANSFER ACTIVITIES TO TFL (LUL/15/10) was carried out.

These reports are to be placed in front of us within 7 days. We merge this file with the file PROPOSED TRANSFER ACTIVITIES TO TFL (LUL/15/10).

London Transport Regional Council and TfL no.1 branch to be advised.”

I am currently acting in accordance with the above decision and will update branches on further developments.
