Dear Colleague,
TFL PENSION FUND - INDEPENDENT REVIEW
I refer to my previous email of 17th September 2021, please find the following link in respect of the TfL Pension Fund and while this union believes that we must fully protect our members past and future occupational retirement benefits.
I will keep you advised of future developments.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Lynch
General Secretary
The government, TfL and London Underground consider EVERYTHING that makes our job bearable and worthwhile as up for grabs. Pensions, job security, pay rises and your framework agreements are all threatened... If we don’t stop them!
Last year we were heroes, now we’re just a cost
on an accountant’s balance sheet. Management are going to try and con us into believing that if we cooperate with attacks on jobs, pay, pensions and conditions they will be in a better position to negotiate with the government for funding.
RMT Upfront is the newsletter for London Underground train drivers, from the RMT. This edition looks at why overtime is, in the long term, of more benefit to the bosses than to us as a grade.
Please download, print and distribute it in your train crew accomodation.
RMT warns of action as Government places contract for driverless trains on London Underground
TUBE UNION RMT warned today of a campaign of action as it emerged that the Government has placed adverts for a consultancy contract to explore the introduction of driverless trains on London Underground.
General Secretary Mick Lynch said;
"The news that the Government is pressing ahead with wasting money on a consultancy project on driverless trains on London Underground when there are massive challenges facing the transport network shows their twisted set of priorities.
Please find attached Jubilee South branch news for 2021.
In this newsletter we take a look at what we have, how we secured it and what we can do to fight for better.
Jubilee South branch is organised, united and ready to respond to any attacks on our jobs, pensions and Ts & Cs that Tube bosses may attempt.
