Dear colleagues,

‘Save London’s Transport’ - Demonstration outside Parliament, Wednesday 1st December, assemble 11am, Old Palace Yard

Transport workers in London are facing an attack on their pensions, pay freezes and threats to services and jobs, imposed as part of the government’s conditions for bailout out Transport for London. The current deal runs out on 11 December. As the deadline for negotiating a new funding package for Transport for London approaches, London’s transport unions have called a demonstration outside Parliament on 1st December calling on the government to stop its attacks on transport workers and restore operating grant to TfL. All branches and members are encouraged to support this demonstration.

Please note, this demonstration will take place on the same day as another protest outside Serco’s headquarters at Cardinal Place. This will take place at 10.00am, Victoria in London, after which we will move up to Westminster. If you can make both demonstrations, please do. Otherwise assemble at Old Palace Yard at 11am.

Finally, a reminder to sign and share the petition in support of TfL’s workers here:

Please bring this matter to the attention of your members.

Yours sincerely,

 

Michael Lynch
General Secretary
