WHY WE ARE STRIKING
Tube workers have worked throughout the pandemic to keep an essential service running. Our roles don’t allow us to work from home.
Now our employer wants to make us pay for a financial crisis we didn’t create with cuts to jobs and conditions, including pensions.

Buses are now free to all, all RCIs are deemed unnecessary and furloughed...But Cleaners on the tube still have to pay to get to work.
That’s the message from TFL/LUL management. When we challenged them at the MDs weekly conference call we were told it was a tough choice but unaffordable. The letter from TFL/LUL can be downloaded below.
RMT cannot think of much that is more important right now than the heroic role of our cleaners.
They are doing the most valuable and dangerous work of all on the tube network during this pandemic.
Attached is an RMT briefing on the government's 'Job Retention Scheme' for furloughed workers.
RMT have recently received a barrage of queries from both individual members and from our elected representatives on what to expect from their employers with regard to Coronavirus – Covid 19 Pandemic, what protections are being put in place and how their health and safety is to be protected by the employers. This document is for all RMT members employed in the rail industry whatever their role.
Yesterday the RMT THSC took part in the third in a series of conference calls with LU to discuss the ongoing Covid-19 crisis and measures that were being put in place to reduce risk to all parties.
LU confirmed that tube usage had remained at 94% down on normal levels but accepted that there continues to be areas which experience short term heavy loading. Their view is that changes to timetables will resolve this concern.
