Dear colleagues,
RMT gears up for industrial and political battle in London
I'm writing to you to set out how your union is responding to the Government's attempt to use the crisis in TfL's finances to launch an attack on the livelihoods of ordinary Londoners, including threats to attacks jobs and pensions on the capital's transport network.
Dear RMT members
Update
This morning myself and NEC rep Jared Wood attended a summit meeting with the Managing Director of LUL and others to discuss the above
At the time of writing this update no final deal had been done with government and TFL and management told us that it is possible a deal may not be completed by the 17th October deadline. However, it is management’s view that a section 114 notice would not be required if there was a reasonable prospect of securing a deal by next week.
Dear colleague
