Organise against TfL pay insult

TfL has offered a 3% pay increase to centrally-employed staff (i.e., those who don’t work for London Underground or similar subsidiaries), backdated to April 2022.*

TfL workers paid over £24k have faced a pay freeze during the pandemic, as emergency bailout funding was conditional on freezing pay...

"Not persuaded"?

Mayor Khan has said in an interview that he is "not persuaded" of the need to change our pension arrangements.

That's the clearest statement anyone from TfL or City Hall has made that they don't agree with the Department for Transport's demands that the scheme must be cut. It's certainly a step...

Funding settlement extended, ballot mandate renewed...

23 June saw a nice coincidence of timing, as the Department for Transport announced they were extending TfL's current funding settlement, previously due to expire tomorrow, until 13 July - and on the same day, RMT announced that LU members had voted by over 90%, on a 53% turnout, to renew our...

There's always money for Johnson's follies...

There's no money left to properly fund the Tube, we are told. TfL are ready to implement "managed decline."

At the same time, there is money for MPs to get a pay rise, for buying PPE from Tories' chums. There's money for ill-fated Boris Johnson projects such as a tunnel to Ireland. Billionaires...

"Do Nothing"?

One of the recurrent themes of LU's communication with staff over RMT's current dispute to defend jobs, pensions, and conditions, has been a kind of pleading.
