RMT Members Agree All Workers Under TfL Umbrella Should Be Admitted To Superior TfL Pension Scheme
Submitted by rmtlondon on 10 May, 2013 - 03:36We note the report, which clearly illustrates the benefits of membership of the TfL Pension Fund as opposed to inferior, defined-contribution pension schemes that have been established by many employers operating under contract or franchise from TfL.
We note that:
- Many companies now offer pension schemes that are significantly inferior to the TfL Fund.
- Many of the workers concerned - eg. cleaners, canteen staff - would have worked for TfL (or its
predecessor, London Transport) had they been employed prior to contracting-out, so would have been
members of the TfL Fund.
