New Year Message to RMT Members

Dear Colleague,

No one could have predicted at the start of 2020 that we would experience a year like the one we are now closing the book on. 

Transport workers have found themselves right in the front line of the COVID-19 pandemic, charged with the responsibility of keeping this country, and it's NHS staff and other key groups, moving while the virus has ripped through our communities.

RMT responds to 'independent panel' report on TfL finances

Submitted by Admin on 17 December, 2020 - 22:57

Subject: INDEPENDENT PANEL REVIEW – TRANSPORT FOR LONDON

“That we note the report from our lead officer.

The report of the so-called “independent Panel” is a disgraceful document that seeks to justify imposing job cuts, transport service cuts and additional taxation onto the working class of London. RMT rejects the report entirely and demands that the mayor immediately does the same and undertakes not to act on any of the report’s findings.
