Removal of detrainment staff ballot

26th January 2023

Dear Colleagues,

REMOVAL OF DETRAINMENT STAFF - LONDON UNDERGROUND

Your Union is concerned by reports that London Underground intends to remove detrainment staff from the Bakerloo, District, Central, Hammersmith & City and Jubilee Lines, and impose the 'flash and dash' procedure for detrainments. This is a serious attack on station staffing levels which threatens passenger safety, as well as that of you and your colleagues.

Government plans to attack TfL pensions delayed following RMT action

TFL PENSION FUND - INDEPENDENT REVIEW - UPDATE

I can advise you that on 20th January, TfL announced that the final proposal from the pension review would now be delayed from 31st January to 28th February 2023.

It is clear that the tenacious action taken so far in defence of our pension, along with jobs and agreements, has shaken TfL, the Mayor and the Government. Proposals to attack our pension were first put back from March 2022 to January 2023 and now to 28th February 2023.

IMPORTANT- H&C February 2023 Branch Meeting CANCELLED

IMPORTANT- The Hammersmith & City Branch Meeting is CANCELLED on the 1st February 2023.

This is due to lack of available Branch Officials. The Secretary is unavailable, and the assistant Branch Secretary has had to leave London at short notice, and also there is a National Rail Train Drivers strike on the same day.

We wouldn't usually cancel a meeting just because of a different TOC taking strike action, and this decision has not been taken lightly, but combined with the unavailability of Branch Officials we have been left with no option.

Defend the right to strike rally and action planning meeting

Dear Colleagues

Defend the right to strike rally and action planning meeting

The government has launched an attack on our rights. Their actions will destroy our fundamental right to strike.

Strike Map and a collective of other organisations are inviting all workers, union reps and branch officers to join a collective rally and action planning meeting as we together resist and defeat this latest anti strike legislation.

The Defend the right to strike rally and action planning meeting takes place on:

Protect the right to strike - national day of action

Protect the right to strike! What we do next - TUC Organising Call and date for National Day of Action

On Monday thousands of trade unionists and workers descended on the UK Parliament to protest the Conservative Government's draconian new anti-strike Bill and send a clear message to the Government that we will relentlessly fight this fundamental attack on our democratic and human rights to withdraw our labour.

I would like to thank each and every one of you that turned out for the Emergency Demo and for the continued support of those that couldn't make it.

Protect the right to strike - Sign the Petition
