Save The London Transport Museum

From RMT General Secretary Bob Crow

Dear Colleagues,

Save London Transport Museum!

Transport for London has cut its grant to the Museum by 25%, which amounts to £1.5million a year. On top of that, vital Arts Council funding has dried up, shelving a number of important community outreach and education posts.

TSSA have launched a petition which I encourage you to sign, and to bring to the attention of members.

London Transport Regional Council and TfL no.1 branch to be advised.

London Transport Museum Job Cuts Plan Should Be Consigned To History

We note the report that London Transport intends to make significant cuts to staffing at the LT Museum. The Museum has suffered funding cuts from this vicious Coalition government, but our members, the Museum's visitors and the cultural value of the Museum's work should not be made to suffer.

We resolve to play a full part in the campaign against these cuts, and support its demand that TfL 'open the books' so that we can identify opportunities for avoiding cuts.

We instruct the General Secretary to:

  1. support and mobilise for the lobby of the TfL Board planned for 12 December.

RMT Rejects TFL Pay Offer For 2012:

We note the views of our TfL no.1 branch on the pay offer from Transport for London.

We affirm the branch’s view that RMT should not accept TfL's pay offer. We do not support Performance-Related Pay, and we will not endorse part of our members' pay rise in the second year of this deal being conditional on us accepting a PRP policy that we have not even seen yet.

RMT is disappointed that other unions have accepted the offer and not taken up our request to pursue our concerns.
