LONDON UNDERGROUND SPECIAL BULLETIN April 2024
Ballot papers going out from first week in April
Vote Yes to keep up the fight for our Jobs, Pensions and Agreements
Once again we have to re-ballot under the anti-unions laws that try to stop you from fighting to defend your jobs, pensions and agreements.
The strike action we’ve taken in defence of jobs, pensions and agreements has forced management back and won us some important victories:
l No pension changes before 2026 l Station jobs won back and further
station re-orgs stopped. Stations’ rosters and work-life balance defended
l Draconian attendance policy withdrawn l Trains modernisation pushed back for now
Why do I need to vote YES again? TfL remains committed to start formal consultation by July 2024 on forcing our pension into the inferior Local Government Pension Scheme. Management is making job cuts in many areas of APD (Engineering and Fleet maintenance areas). This is being done by refusing to fill vacancies. Management is proposing to remove Fleet call points and reduce minimum staffing levels in Fleet. With £600 million in cuts still to be found by April 2026 every function remains at risk of attacks on jobs and agreements. We have only been able to push management back because we have our strike mandate.
Vote YES for strike action and action short of strike Ballot papers will arrive shortly. If you do not receive a ballot paper in the next few days email info@rmt.org.uk for a replacement.
