What is a National Executive Committee decision?

RMT To Discuss TfL Cut To Long Service Awards

We note the correspondence from Transport for London and the report from our Regional Organiser. These confirm that the long service awards do not keep pace with the cost of living, and that further, the award for 25 years service with TfL has been cut from £350 to £250. Although the company points out that the award for 40 years service increases from £600 to £700, significantly more people reach 25 years service than 40 years, and therefore this is an overall cut.

This position is not acceptable to this union, and we instruct the General Secretary to place this on the agenda of the next meeting of TfL Company Council and seek the support of the other trade unions.

London Transport Regional Council and branches to be advised.
