LUL/TfL ballots – vote YES to defend jobs and for pay justice

Submitted by Admin on 23 March, 2009 - 17:36

From RMT General Secretary Bob Crow ... Dear colleague

Ballots of RMT members at LUL and Transport for London begin tomorrow, March 24, and close on April 8. You are urged to vote YES for action to defend jobs and win pay justice.

At LUL:

LUL is trying to push through compulsory redundancies, despite the agreement designed to safeguard jobs in the PPP Code of Conduct.

It is also trying to push through an unacceptable five-year pay formula which would offer no real-terms increase for FOUR years – and could even result in a pay cut.
