Together with our sister unions Unite and TSSA a further strike day has been called to force management back to the negotiating table and reverse their disgraceful plans which would do the following: -

Brian Munro - RIP

Submitted by Eamonn Lynch on 28 June, 2014 - 12:58

Dear colleagues

It is with deep regret that I advise of the passing of Brother Brian Munro this morning, following a long battle with illness.

As a deeply committed member of the Union with over 20 years service, his loss will be felt by all. A former Secretary of the London Transport Regional Council and the current Secretary of the Bakerloo Line Branch, Brian worked tirelessly to negotiate, campaign and organise on behalf of his members.
