The LUL media department, aka Transport for Lies, have trotted out the usual rubbish on the eve of a strike on the tube.
As we are all to only aware, truth is the first casualty of war.
This resolution, submitted by Finsbury Park branch and seconded by Stratford no.1 branch, was carried unanimously by the January 2011 meeting of the Regional Council:
That this Regional Council is concerned about the dates each Branch holds it meetings and how these date interlocks with the regional council’s executive committee on which each Branch Secretary and Chair are ex officio members, and how each branch feeds into the Regional Council itself.
This resolution, submitted by Stratford no.1 branch and seconded by East Ham branch, was carried unanimously at January 2011 meeting of the Regional Council:
The London Transport Regional Council resolves to convene annual one-day meetings for all reps in each function in London Underground (operational), and similarly for health & safety reps in each function.
We believe that these will be very useful events for discussing issues of common concern, sharing experiences, identifying training needs, developing strategies and establishing contact between reps.
This resolution, composited from resolutions submitted by Stratford no.1 branch and LU Fleet branch, was carried unanimously by the January meeting of the Regional Council:
Education: fees and cuts
1. This union deplores the ConDem government's action in voting to cut university funding, treble tuition fees and scrap the Education Maintenance Allowace (EMA).
2. We believe that this move will deter working-class people from continuing education, leaving it as a privilege for the few who can afford to pay to study.
Assemble on Victoria Embankment for a massive march against cuts and for jobs and public services.
More details, and downloadable publicity materials, here.
Venue: Unity House
Venue: Exmouth Arms, Star Cross Street, near Euston
Come along and discuss keeping up the momentum of our fight against job cuts, building for the protest at Mayor's Question Time on Wednesday, and building support for the anti-victimisation strikes on the Northern and Bakerloo lines starting on Friday evening.
